Whats up, my names Jared and I have a 1984 Mazda Rx-7 Gs 5-Speed. This is the first rotary car i have ever owned. I was invited to this site by Dzire, AKA Hobbie. My car is currently at his house now. I'm having some idleing issues with the 7. I dont have much vacuum pressure and because of that, my throttle opener dont work. every time i want to go some where, i have to mix gas and oil in a 20oz bottle and pour it in the carb. it will smoke like a tar kettle for a little bit but it will eventually clear up. after that, the car runs and drives, its just hard to keep it running. any one got any ideas? any info helps and is greatly appreciated.

thanks everyone. so Hobbie, i found another 13b. but i still want that second gen you have. im still researching on the 12a to 13b swap. the lik you sent me helped alot.

Will the 13b flywheel work with the 12a transmission?
