Engine Performance problem
1983 Mazda RX7 Two Wheel Drive Manual 64378 miles

The only way this engine will stay running is with the choke on. When the choke releases, the engine dies unless throttle is feathered. It started doing this all of a sudden.

Check the curb idle speed if its to specs if not try adjusting the idle speed screw to raise the idle speed -don't work you have a problem with the idle circuit in the carb.
