i just bought a 1982 rx7 at an auction, and i cant get it to run. ive got tons of spark, plenty of fuel, and 65psi of compression. at best, i can get it to fire once, and its a little, barely counts fire before i have to take out all of the plugs and clean the fuel off of them. ive tried moving the timing all over the place and still nothing. any suggestions? ill also part it out at this point, let me know if you want anything. thanks

65 psi doesn't seem too good. You getting that on all three blows?

65 psi doesnt sound too good.



when you crank it without spark plugs in it does a lot of fuel come out? perhaps its flooded?



not to sure, nor helpful, sorry.

yeah, it floods all the time. but when it does i take the plugs out and clean them so that isnt the problem. i get 65 psi or real close to that for all the holes. any suggestions on where to post my car to part it out? also, how or can you post pictures? thanks
