we got to work on getting it starting today.
mounted and connected a battery.
checked the ford edis sparks
checked oil pressure
check fuelsystem for leaks and set fuelpressure
played/fought a full afternoon with software, firmware, settings etc etc.
it starts up now and it keeps idling. seems like good result knowing we don't have anny real wankels experience nor are we experts on micro/mega-squirt.

Today was the day for it's maiden trip to the water! she was scared, the motor got flooded on the first start attempt. after we pulled the plugs and dried her out it got to dark to shoot good video's.
