Procedure for starting my RX7

It seems like it flood out a lot and when it starts a big cloud of unburned fuel comes out. I have a switch to turn my fuel pump on and off separate from my ignition. I am just wondering fuel pump first than crank, crank while switching the pump on or what? Any ideas, I don't like clouds of smoke:=(. On the plus side, the oil is good and its holding all of its coolant, I think it is running a little rich though, any way to adjust that?

Thanks

Jesse

Your best bet would be to remove your injectors and have them cleaned and also do a compression test. Chances are your injectors are leaking and venting the pressure into the engine causing fuel to puddle.

Whould bad compression cause it to run badly? is there a way to do a poor mans compression test, i don't have the special gauge.

The compression tester is very cheap and will give you acurate numbers where as the poor mans compression test will only let you hear that there is some compression, not how much.
