It's like a train wreck........You know it's going to be bad, but can't help but to look. I don't suppose you can get someone to ride on the fender with a squirt bottle going down the road? Now that would be funny .

Check the filter if you haven't already. $5 part and in a car that's 24 years old, lots of stuff has gone through the line, pretty easy to gunk that up.

Should be a plug there (doesn't matter too much though) but that is just part of the bellhousing that shrouds the flywheel and clutch. In other words, no fluid, your just seeing the flywheel when you look in there.

Good to see that it's running!

i cannot believe that noone has mentioned that the car is only running on 1 rotor. I'd say it's blown... You deffinatly have at least chipped apex seals because you can hear the compression leaking throught the carb....

1 rotor

If one rotor isn't running it'll still turn silly :P


I'll agree with Hyper4mance2k it doesn't sound right, I know squirting gas into the carb isnt the best but that'd a valid method it'll suck the gas into both rotors enough to burn, yet it doesn't sound like my friends 12a that I worked on at all.

i know i messed up. but it sounds like both rotarys are firing. remember i have no muffler on and the donut from the head to the muffler has a hole in it so i need a new one.
