1979 Mazda RX7 Won’t Start After Sitting for 20 years

I have no idea what to do. It turns over, it just won't fire up. Also seems like the clutch has no pressure. Anyone near Leavenworth WA to help?

Check compression?
Check ignition for spark?
Check carb for fuel flow?

welcome to the board.

in addition to the above ... here's a link to the FSM: Foxed.ca

after you sort getting the engine fired, for the clutch, you'll want to start with the hydraulics - master, slave, and line.
