1st time it wont start...
i live in MN and there is plenty of snow and this year i havent found shelter for my FD but weird thing is, i never had a start problem and the 1 night it does sleep in the garage the F ing thing wont start.. but it started once when i had to move it back a foot to open the fridge door 1st try like always, then the next day the thing juss wont start. is this a common problem with these things? what should i do? i thought maybe i flooded it somehow, prolly not but i didnt know where else to start but checkign the spark plugs. if i did flood it it wont do a rolling clutch start right? kuzz of fuel injection? or is it somehow different for rotories? how the f do i get to the spark plugs? do i go from under the car? i cant even see them, its like rocket sugery......
i would appreciate any input from any1... i dont know wtf im doing... thanx

wont start
normally when you start a rotary for just a short time running it can flood. I would use the search for the best things to do but you can try to hold the throttle down while cranking, this will lean out the A/F ratio/injector pulse and it may start.

Flooding is a normal result when a rotary is started and then shut off cold.
Please use the search function. There must be 500 threads on flooding.
