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.

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!
