Eh. "Cold Start" is no biggie with a Rotary. Just dump the gas to it. What's it do when it's 90deg F out, and heat-soaked?

My experience is the opposite - cold start is the bitch, easy to get not enough fuel because it all wets out on all that surface area in the engine, easy to get too much fuel and wet the plugs... sometimes both at the same time. Which is why I like to go overkill on ignition systems. Flip side, I bet Alex has that down pat. I remember tuning his last car while he was in Basic, and when checking to see if it had spark, was cranking the engine with the leads off the coils. Freakin' things made sparks as long and thick as my thumb. Pete Remner Cleveland, Ohio 1984 RX-7 (rallycross thing) 1978 Silence is golden, but duct tape is silver. |
