compression ?

It can run with no compression in one of the chambers right?It could still drive down the road.

I sold mine for 500 it wouldnt start when i sold it but it did run up and down my driveway a couple weeks prior and just sat there..The lady said theres no compression in one of the chambers.I guaranteed it to run,but it still would run technically right?I mean im no mechanic but she said she was going to take me to court if i didnt give her money back since i said its guaranteed to run.What should i do?

Did you have bill of sale showing as is? If not you may just want to offer to give her the money back. Why fight for $500....Just resale it. She might want to keep it when you do offer the money back.

Guaranteeing it to run means just that. Running on 1 rotor, or only 4 or 5 of the 6 combustion faces doesn't fit the bill. You either fix the engine or take the car back.

$500 isn't a lot of money in the car world.
be very polite to her, give the money back, and resell it on the forums. someone will give you that easy.

What kind of motor is it? 13B, 12A? I might buy it as is. I need one as a spare motor.
