okay the car had not been turned on in like 1 - 2 weeks
and now doesn't want to turn on
carb is getting gas
motor turns over and sounds like it wants to
but dies immediately

battery is good
battery cables are good
gas is good

i checked for spark and i have spark

and that left me to think my motor is flooded

but who knows

any help is appreciated

Was there any gas on the sparkers when you took em out?

Then yeah its more than likely flooded. I've heard its fairly common for rotaries to flood or lose compression as they age, making them hard to start

Keep asking around though. I'm not totally sure thats your problem, its just a possibility. I'm not an expert on these cars (yet) by any means. That was just what a mechanic told me.

If she's flooded, don't pump the pedal. Just hold it down to the floor, and no choke. She'll go.

You can also pull the plugs and crank the engine to get the fuel out. Clean off your plugs with a torch and put em back. Should fire right up.
