so far, my plans are to try and starts it.. that way I know if I have to pull the motor & have it gone through. This is my first rotary so this is all new to me.. it's a cool & unique wagon & I would love to get it back on the road! I have a 72 510 wagon I got got back on the road & now enjoy carving through the mountains where I live.
I haven't worked on it in a while, I have a few projects I'm working on.. some of the parts for the rx3 are a lot more difficult to locate & more expensive.. I finding out that if it's "rx3" the price doubled.. just taking my time with it. Hopefully I'll have some update pics soon. I appreciate the forum & all the questions they have helped this rotary newbie..
thanks, Greg

No updated pics.. I lost all my pics when my iPhone messed up. Then with the photo bucket mess... I'm having to start all over..
If you go to instagram. redrumlscarjunkie I have some pics of the engine in there. I'm going to take some new pics(updated). The only stuff I have is on FB & instagram... sucks! I lost a lot of good pics.. family & cars.

Here's a pic of the intake with the carb off... a lot of stuff inside of the intake.. I had to get my shopvac in there to get all that crap out of the intake.. not looking good.. I'm thinking it's going to have to be gone through...

Cleaned up with the mmo in the intake.. going to let it sit.. gave the motor a tug with a breaker bar from the crank pulley bolt.. didn't budge a bit... froze good.. I'll give it a few weeks but just probably going to pull the 12a & figure out what I'm going to do. I want a running rx3 wag! Soon

Through for today... lmk what you guys think & what would you do... this is my first rotary Powered car so any suggestions or ideas are very appreciated..
I want this rotary wagon running side by side with my 510 wagon.. I dig the wags & I think they are cool & practical.

There's been a few guys saying I should swap out the twin dizzy 12a for a new version of the 12a because of the scarcity of twin dizzy internal parts. I was a little bummed out, was hoping to rebuild & run the twin dizzy 12a..
what suggestions or input do you guys have.. all your input is very appreciated.. you know you guys have a lot of experience & seen a whole lot of builds.. I'm new to the game and want to learn.
thanks, Greg

Picked up a gas door and a few little parts I needed from a friend on another forum. The goon is almost complete, just need that elusive front windshield..
I might have one soon, I'll find out in a few weeks. Looking for good running gear.. hopefully have this goon up and running soon..

Pulled the 12a & 4spd.. going to pull this motor apart to see what's locking it up.. going to work on the engine compartment & look for a replacement motor.
