update- overheating problems
so my ast post was abou how it was overheating...
well i got the new thermostat in ...but the next question is about qwhen it is starting up...it takes forever and is a pain in the *** to start
i know it isnt the starter, ive replaced it recently
but whe it does start up, tons..i mean tons of white smoke goes out of the exhaust
it doesnt really smell like coolant or gas, if so i cant really tell the difference
any ideas?

Oh then you got a leak. Can the water veins in the housings leak???. Like for example conventional engines may have block leaks, can rotary engines have housing leaks??. If not check your all your hoses, check the water pump. If not internal, overheating problems aern't that hard to find.

i had a problem like that. my exhaust had tons of white smoke and i was building up pressure in the coolant system. i did everything. new thermostat, radiator radiator hoses waterpump new radiator cap and new coolant. well i pulled out all my plugs and found out that the front bottom plug was submerged with coolant. i mean it just poured out. but it was still firing here and there. i noticed a lack in power a little. so try pulling your plugs and see what ya find.

love the braaaap
Did you actually overheat the engine? if you did then thats the source of your problems. But the engine is definately burning coolant. To be properly fixed, you need to either rebuild your current engine or replace with another lower milage engine.
