hey guys, i think we found the problem, there is no compression on the front rotor


this is a mere speculation, but we took out the top two spark plugs to de-flood it,and when we cranked it over real quick, there was no pressurized blast of air coming from the front rotor, while the back was giving solid and visible releases, so, i guess the ignition isnt our main problem anymore

question, would it be a good investment to hit up a junkyard and grab a rotary that turns over and has compression, or would we just be digging a deeper hole with that?

if you have a junkyard near you that has running rotaries... go and get as many as you can carry... at the very least you can pull apart the ones that end up breaking and learn how to rebuild and improve them

I have never found a rotary in a junkyard... I only find shells when I go hunting... But that could just be my luck... who knows. I'm guessing that they would be pretty cheap if you could find one though... maybe between 50-100 bucks? Someone correct me there please.

With a good (complete) seal kit running about 800-900$ then i wouldn't say you're digging a hole... maybe just building a small cliff to fall off of?

Doesn't hurt to have a couple engines laying around good luck!

Ignition help

Hey guys, i just need one simple, yet apperently unasked question answered

can anyone tell me where the respective coil wires lead, they dont seem to be as simple as positive and ground... The negatives appear to lead to some block of some sort in front of the firewall on the drivers side, but im not quite sure
