How do I get it started? Help please.
I have the opportunity to pick up a 1986, non-turbo model RX-7, for next to nothing, from an estate sale. My problem is that I am not familiar with the rotary engine.
The car has been sitting for almost a year, and when the owner tried to start it for me, it refused. I know the car was running fine, before, but need to know what can be done to bring it back to life.
I have rebuilt several naturally aspirated V-8's in my time, but never a rotary. I would assume bad gas might have something to do with its refusal to catch, but what else might I need to check?
I have always admired the RX-7's and would like to get this one for one of my boys. All help would be welcomed.
Thanks.

I R SAD PANDA W/O BAW
When the owner tried to start it did it crank but not turn over? It is probably due to the engine flooding with a combination of bad gas. Do a search on "unflooding procedure".
