Hey all, I bought a 12a rx7 that sat for over 10 years and I’m trying to get it started.

so far I have rebuilt the carb and did the rats nest delete, as well as put a new starter, battery and spark plugs(has good spark) fuel pump doesn’t work so im using starting fluid to just get it to fire over for a second with no luck. I attached a video thinking maybe it’s low compression or something(will test tomorrow). What can I try next?

 

welcome to the board.

did you have any reason to mess with the distributor?

 

Did it run before doing all the work?

 

It ended up having low compression so I pulled the motor and will be rebuilding and most likely porting the engine as well
