Hi I recently bought their second Mazda RX 7 FB with 12 a Wankel . I am very pleased with it as dynamics and stability throughout the way. But I have a problem with the carburetor () I bought him a new repair kit from the USA, but after a ride in my car rising levels of floats and drowning of gasoline. Please help!

Hiya, welcome to the forum
Not too sure what the carb problem is, but it would seem that if the float bowls are overflowing then the float isn't... errr floating? Sounds like somewhere the cut-off for the fuel isn't happening properly

Welcome. Show us some pictures of the car and the carbs and we will try and help.
We can always send you another carb if we can't.
Nikki's aren't as easy to work on as IDAs but they're a good carb.

Hi, I bought my first FB 5-6 years ago it was a tuned engine compartment and replaced by Ford Sierra 2.0 v6. Below I have attached a few pictures. 2 years ago I found my first original Mazda Px 7 FB and then try to restore it. Her photos will upload later ...

Wow. That's distinctive. Never seen an F40-kitted FB before

Yes I think we have.....remember the Custom Orange FB from Wolverhampton.......last noted South Yorks? That had the same/similar rear end.
Welcome Andrei. The cause of petrol flooding in a carburettor used to be that the float was sticking on it's pivot or was punctured, also the needle valve could get dirt or rust particles behind the needle as it closed. I have also seen a distorted home-made gasket press the float down on one old car I had.

The UK cars were very much more rounded than this, esp in the butt - this is more angular and has the NACA ducts and as per the F40.
That certainer is one unique RX7 you have there Andrei - do you know the history behind the body kit and if there are any more?

Mazda All this is done in Bulgaria from iron sheets and body kit. There is no other and there will be. But rust and years now affect car.
