Mobius

Okay,

Its cold outside, nights are dropping to 20 degrees.

Its a brand new rebuilt engine.

So far, I've only driven it 200 miles.

When I turn it off, and go to drive it next day. WILL NOT START.

Is the compression low since it has not hit the thousand mile breakin?

since the compressions low, it floods?

Is this how the vicious cycle of evil continues?

Any ideas? Or am I just going to have to drive it to nova scotia and back before it starts up correctly?

It takes a while for the seals to brake in properly, and will start up a little slower.. especially if you used any used seals or housing etc.... But i know when i rebuilt mine.. for the first while, it would take forever to get it started ... it was crazy... now it starts everytime... And mine was in the hot summer too... so dont worry im sure it will start working better soon...

yes, they are hard to start when they are new. and rotarys are harder to start when it's cold. so have both and you have problems. if you're flooded a couple times get some new spark plugs. it'll make a big difference and probably start it up.
