Well right now I have my new rebuild in the car and I am trying to start it. If I use starting fluid it will just about start but not quite. I am wondering if I will have to tow it even though it has decent (for a fresh rebuild) compression?

dude 65 psi is low we rebuilt jeff's motor because it was 65pst on the front and 55 on the back rotor

It hasn't run yet, it is decent compresison for used rotor housings and new apex seals.

the compression should get better as it breaks in

65 is way low, 85 is usually the cut line. Hopefully it will go up when it breaks in. Have you tryed using some atf and crank it dry and playing with the egi fuse back and forth.

I thought 55 was what a never started rebuild was usually at, I swear.. Well push start it or tow it whatever. Then after its ran do a comp test with the throttle wide open...

meh?

55 is what Kevin Landers told me. And should I have to jumper the fuel pump test plug? Or will the car fill up the fuel lines all by its self. And if I have to jumper that plug how long should I let the fuel pump run.

Put some 2 stroke oil in the chambers, and start it that way.



My last rebuild had 85 psi on both rotors with 0 miles. It started right up and idled fine.
