a little help for my poor ole rex?
i have an 83 rx, and she wont start. heres what i know, and i need help figuring out whats wrong (im not a good mechanic, and barely know anything about rotary's)
when i tried to crank it, fuel poured out the exhaust between the header and cat. hmmmm first clue.
i checked and i have spark.....er well i did when i had a brand new battery, which is now a paper weight lol
i checked compression, long since forgot the numbers but im pretty sure it was enough,...
personally (as well as a few other people i talked to) think that my carb may be messed up and dumping too much fuel. someone else told me that my apex seals may be screwed... but if that's true i wouldnt be getting enough (if any) compression.... or would i?
this car is really driving me up the wall and i would like to gt her running. any ideas would be GREATLY appreciated. thanks.
