I agree with the others that it's probably the starter, but make sure the battery is fully charged also.

Viperx7 is right.The rotary engine takes some good juice to start.Check the battery first then look at the starter.

Get another person,

Give the starter a few hard taps with a spanner as you turn her over. If it starts then it means your soleniod thingy in your starter is fu

ky and you need a new starter.
