i know its been asked many times befor but for some reason

search isnt working ... anyway my car has been sitting for around 9 months or so give or take a month it wouldnt start when i tried a while back befor i moved but since then the starter has burnt out on me the 1 way drive on the starter is gone ... so i gotta either rebuild it or get me a new starter so im lookin into that rihgt now but my question is ... i think my apex seals are possibly stuck and i was told a little motor oil down the carb (or was pour some oil in through the plug holes) and turn it over by hand to try and free up stuck apex seals
can anyone give me any pointers... i almost had it started a month or two ago befor my starter went
it sputtered and stalled it was so close... anyone have any problems like this?... right now im cleaning up alot of wiring (lots of gunk buildup) all connections are sanded off and completely clean for best connection everything is starting to look alot more neat soon to go is the rats nest
and has anyone heard of using a reduction gear starter? they have much better power for turning over rotaries and rotaries can always use more turning over power there are somwhat more power efficient aswell. i just am yet to find a reduction gear starter to fit
