AL FC no start after storage

i have a 91 RX-7 non-turbo convertible. Have done a few updates with intake, stainless exhaust system, electronics, clutch, few others. I have had the car in storage for the past 8 months and now when I go to take it out I cannot get to start. All the fuel was drained out before storing, fogged engine, up on blocks inside a garage. Before trying to start, fresh new fuel was added, new plugs, fresh battery, all mechanical parts lubricated.
NOTHING HAS WORKED YET. LOOKING FOR IDEAS.

Thanks,
bo

I suggest you use descriptive titles if you want anyone to actually read your posts.

Also, read the threads stickied at the top of this forum to learn about the forum RULES and also the FAQ threads to learn about the car.

AL No start storage-apologize-Gracer 7 rx-7

I appreciate your response, the first real person to write anythng back. Please accept my apology from an old time drag racer, where the type of communication we had when a problem came up was to actually call a real person, who would either have an answer or refer to someone who could. It is confusing for me not to understand or see the point of regulations just to ask a question about an RX-7. But it is your guys club and I am sure the rules serve a neccessary purpose. I have read and reread the rules and regulations, ask for help several times, tried to meet the thread and post requirements, but apparently to no avail.
If there is anyone in this organization who could offer any assitance to make a go with the correct protocol, i would greatly appreciate. I came to this club web site with no hidden agenda or malice, just for helpful suggestions.
I just want to get back to work on my RX-7.

Bo I think you will find that if you spend a bit of time getting to know our easy to follow rules check out our FSM.s for a bit . It's a lot of reading but you will find some info on your car .. come back and do things proper and someone will help you .. It really is a good forum ( the best ) these guys are brilliant and can have things up and running in no time . After you are here for a while you will realize how important it is to do things correctly . welcome !! Batter Up

Ok..I got an Idea.
Since you fogged the engine,you may have just switched plugs and tried to start it..right?
This would foul the new plugs.I am thinkin there is alot of fogging oil left in there.
so,here is my idea for you to do.
Take the plugs out.take out the EGI fuse,roll the engine over about 30 seconds..then Put in FRESH CLEAN plugs..put in EGI,and then roll the engine over without tapping the gas.
It should by rights want to start.
