NM New 1st Generation Owner .

Hey Fellow Rotor-heads!
I just got a 1985 RX-7 GSL-SE, just wanted to introduce myself.
My Name is Zac!
Any tips you guys have on maintaining these cars, or working on rotary engines would be great! Right now I'm trying to get it running, have to charge the battery and check the fuse box and everything. I think the problem is in the ignition electrics, not the engine, but any advice you guys have would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Make sure your grounds are clean. Sandpaper is your friend. Did you check if your plugs are sparking? Take out a wire & check.If it does spark check fuel pump make sure it stays on if its on check that your not flooding the rotor by taking a spark plug out. Also try useing a different battery that you have laying around you ll be surprised how many times thats the prob. Gsl is Efi correct? Lol

I'd post a pic, but it doesn't look like much right now (mismatched fenders, dents, old paintwork). And thanks for the tips guys!
