today I removed my rats nest and I broke the nipples off the purge valve. I capped off the vacuum lines that were supposed to go to it and ran a line straight from the carb to the oil filler neck. were do I find a replacement purge valve and what will happen if I leave it like it is? there is always something!

either buy a new one, its not too $$ or find it in a junkyard, i know every rx7 uses the same one, and i bet the piston stuff too



it should be fine without it for a few days
