well, take out all the plugs, crank the motor over with all the 2 EGI fuses out (so it wont spray fuel) let all the fuel blow out the spark plug holes. while you are at it, get a skiny funel and put some oil or ATF in one of the holes, this will help her build up some compression. after you do all that and dry off the plugs, then she should fire up after you put in the fuses. sorry is this is confusing....check out kevins site Rotaryresurrection.com good luck man
i agree, top fuse out, floor the car and crank
like 10 seconds at a time, spark plugs out
do it like 3 times
and then use a funnel or whatever and just dump a bunch of oil in both rotors
put spark plugs on, etc, and then just crank it, with your foot on the gas

one thing I've noticed with mine is when doing the unflooding the car will try to start and have a little grab and if I let off the starter that's it it just goes back to needing the unflooding again.
but if I hold it when it tries to start it will continue to go and finally rev to life but it does take a little toll o nthe starter I'm sure since it grinds a little

your S5 ECU has a built in fuel cut when the accelerator is at full throttle, no need to pull the EGI fuse.
your mechanic is a retard, as a few have said and pointed out to get your compression back you need to add a few squirts of oil or ATF to each lower leading plug hole then retry.
