yeah I hate carbs too, my buddy was going to carb his motor I was like hell no, rough unpredictable power, tuning jets is ghey too, cold start is horrible.

Power from it is good.I won't play with the jets on mine because it idles like a dream but the cold start is a pain.It needs some engine heat before it idles on its own.Nothing is more annoying then starting it at -5 and having to hold the gas on it at 1500rpms till the system warms up enough to idle on its own.

Take it from me, I did the whole carb. thing and now I'm back to stock efi, It's faster plus it runs when it's cold outside

I need you wiring diagrams too.85TIIDEVIL is helping me figure it out seeing as his was done at his house with a 87 engine but diagrams are way easier to follow.

Koo..thanks alot guys for ur opinions, Im going to stick wit the card after all,when I was takin the engine outta the car I broke a cpl of the vacuum hoses and found out 2 of my injectors r shot wich means the other ones dont have much longer so Ill juss deal with the headaches and flooding of carbs then spend even more money getting my EFI workin again, and also my carburetor guy tells me hell do a full rebuild for $150 (thas bangin!) and will give me a lil more gas witch means a bit more power now I just gotta spend like 40 bucks for a 30gph fuel pump. Thanx again rx7 lovers....
