Anyone know about really hard starting after the rotary is warmed up? Mine sometimes takes 10-15 attempts to finally start. One chamber also is not firing for about 15-20 seconds, then runs fine. Already changed the plugs.

Compression Test? My first motor was like that (had low compression).

Yeah, I would have to say low compression.

Thanks for the ideas. It turns out that low compression is the problem, unfortunately. Its rebuild time. The new question is what are the best parts for a reliable and dependable motor? I'm not looking for gobs of horsepower, just more worry-free daily driving. Thanks again.

Stock seals work best imo.

the only apex seals i haven't broken at this point at the stockers and RA's. I normally use all stock seals everywhere else in the engine.
