Try compression starting it in 2nd gear. Definitely take the starter off and bench check it or have someone look at it. When the starter decides to go you might not get much forewarning. If it smells gassy under the hood that usually means its getting flooded.

What happened? Did you get it to work yet?

I woulda thought you had too high of a concentration of oil:gas, but you said it didn't crank.

The question is why did you put the MMO and the other crap in your gas to begin with?

atf or MMO is to get rid of carbon and hopefully unlock the engine. when you put it in 5th gear and push it backwards it spins the engine backwards and hopefully unlocks it........ sounds weird but it works. ask me how i know :bigthumg:[/quote]

Vos is right on. My first rotory was a locked up junk yard motor that I got free this way. I raced it for 1 year to the day till it puked an apex. Not bad for a $300 motor....

starter was probably on it's way out and now the added oil in the combustion chamber has improved sealing and resulted in higher compression than before... and the starter kicks the bucket.
