RHROTORHED

I have been having problems starting my gsl-se and I looked on the faq page and I think I have narrowed the problem down to the fuel pump or fuel filter and I need to know where the fuel filter is. In the tank maybe? Any guidance on the issue would be awesome.

its in front of the tank under the car. on the drivers side.

sorry But when a wankel dont start normaly.. Most time is somting rong whid the compresion. so u need to make it get more RPM so the Apex seals can get out if the spring is flaten,ore one apex is damage

RHROTORHED

but it will also start normally after I let it sit for a day like its flooded or something. Not that this is related to the starting problem but it also lacks a lot of power

Its more easy to start it when its a cold engine .. then a hot one .. dont cost that much to redo the engine .. If noting more then 1 apex is damage and noting more. Hope that u housing is stil find. My strongest recomandation is dont start it more befor u get it fix becose u can damage more then .

if you think one of the apex seals is toast, pull the plugs out and turn the key. if you get 3 even sounding whooshs from each rotor then your seals are most likely aright, if not, then time for a rebuild
