So if i had a rotary car that hadnt ran in around 5 years, I would
want to put some MMO down the carbs and crank it by hand a few
times let it sit for a few crank it again, sit for a few then try to start it? Well thats at least what i did last time, on a rx7

are there better ways of doing it? the car is a rx2 with the stock
12a twin dizzy. lates matt22

What ive done is drain the old fuel,check the plugs make sure there good,,put some motor oil down primaries of the carb and crank it up.Ive done this several times on the rotaries ive bought that were sitting for years and it works good.
