both rotors always spin, unless your whole engien literally blew in peices and now u somehow have a single rotor engine working . if u are talkign about only having compression on one of the rotors then you have damaged apex or side seals.

A broken eccentric shaft would cause it, but that's not your problem. For all practicle purposes, it's impossible for one rotor to spin and the other not to spin.

What is the problem you are having with the car?
