Starting up problem
 
Why do i have to pour oil into my spark plug holes everytime i want to start my car. Once the engine is warm i can turn it off and get it started again easily without putting oil down the spark plug holes. What the hell is going on i want to be able to start the car when ever i want to.

It's a 13b carby setup in a 1980 rx7 series 1.

firts thing would be to check the compression and make sure the apex seal wear/weak springs isn't causing low compression.

is there any special compression tester for rotaries

Might want to try the water treatment to get rid of any carbon buildup that may be in there. Most people just pull off a vacuum line and drop it into a bottle of water. There are better details somewhere, but you will have to search the forum to find it. Good luck!
