If a rotary engine gets flooded, how do you clear it out? Would you not just crank it and push it out the exhaust and puke some wasted fuel out your tailpipes like a piston engine?

No no, this is a new problem. Or old. But it has nothing to do with the dirty injectors! Apparently those are clean now!





(He cleaned the electrical connectors, not actual injectors. Supposedly problem is fixed now.).
