Try yelling at it and maybe a couple good kicks, sounds like that's all thats left, but you probably tried taht already didn't you. Sounds like the problem I had after getting my rebuild back from teh "rotary" mechanic. The only thing wrong with it was the plug wires were all in the wrong place. And tehj fact that I had to deflood it for a very long time.

yeah, the compression #'s say it will start and run.

But a big fresh battery, in no go. Its getting everything.

Doesn't matter we got the motor out hours ago. We did verify that an apex is not doing its job, 2 low compression #s on rear rotor
