Arrow Starting Problem

2 days ago i installed a new clutch master cylinder in my '80 rx7 after leaving it sit for 4 months. It started up but it didnt start up to well. It sounded like it didnt want to idle. So i got a new battery , and the problem is still there and it never starts up on the first try. << Any ideas???

Could be anything... Stale/contaminated gas? Clogged air filter? Choke not working? Bad spark plugs after a long sit?

What other symptoms? Does it drive normal once it's warm?

4 mo. sounds like bad gas?

Rotaries are notorious for hard starters!

Take it get new gas and put some gas treatment and run the hell out of it, blow that crap out ! ! !
