my new se

today im going to pick up my 4th rx-7. its never seen a winter and im getting it from the original owner, its been sitting for about 6 months. On one of my other rx-7s that sat for a year i just got in and turned the key and it fired up. I haven't tried this one yet because the batery was dead so today im bringing the booster pack. I've never had an se before, any tricks to getting it started after its been sitting?

eh, try it and see if it starts?

actually be sure to check the oil, and probably turn it over by hand a few good times 1st just for good measure to get a little oil around before you try to stress teh parts.. You knwo the insides are going to be dry as a bone after sitting that long..

my -SE's have never had issues starting after sitting (if the battery was good) sometimes they tend to smoke a bit if they had been sitting, but that goes away after a minute or two....

Enjoy!
