starter fluid is good stuff and works well with a rotary.....i used it to start my one rotary when i bought it with "carb problems" and they said it wouldn't run after sitting 5-6 years.........starter fluid and $20 of aintifreeze, oil, and clutch hydraulic fluid got the car purring like a kitten. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/BURNOUT.gif

Use WD-40 for starting fluid. The stock engines used to have a bottle that you put antifreeze in, and when the temps are low the antifreeze keeps the seals from sticking in the grooves when they run over frost inside the housings. WD-40 does the same thing and helps sealing a bit. Pouring boiling water on the intake manifold helps too, as does a block heater and, or, a spot light bulb tight against the oil pan to keep the oil loose.
