HELP!!! 13B trouble after rebuild
I just rebuild my S4 N/a with a kit from Atkins and Mazdatrix. I have the engine put together just like Chilton's says but the car won't start. When the key is turned over, the engine turns really fast like it has no compression. I checked the compressions and its good. I reset the ignition timing but does the same. I have an FD fuel pump in it. Is that overloading it with fuel? When I installed the rotors, I put the rear rotor in with the two weights up. Then turned the engine so the front rotor was pointing straight down with the two weights up. Is the rotor timing off? Please help!!! First rebuild w/rotary

They can't be 'off' weighted, unless they're from different engines and have different stampings. There's no specific orientation (so long as you have stationary gears line up right, that's the only orientation there is). Have you done a compression check at all?

With no marks on it, the chances of properly lining up the CAS/engine is going to be quite difficult. Do you have even pulses going back and forth from the front rotor to the rear rotor? with no pauses/etc?

Do you have a compression gauge at all? Or try turning it by hand to see if you've got pulses from each rotor (it'll always alternate between the front and rear)
