The car has been sitting for about 6 months and it ran just fine when I parked it. I went out a couple weeks ago and fired it up. The car ran fine until the manual choke kicked off and then it wouldn't idle at all. I really don't know much about these rotary engines yet, but my first guess is that there's a vacume line that busted on me and I just haven't found it yet.

Anyone have any ideas?

thanks

Prob. carb problem, old gas, gummed up, dirt, blocked passages etc.. Start by removing and inspecting plugs. Also remove all old fuel for new refill.

 

do what racermike says then get a new fuel filter for like 2 bucks at autozone and install it. then go out and how most people put it "Drive it like you stole it" so anotherwords drive it incredibly hard for a little bit and it should clean it out and make it idle good or at least idle. If this does'nt work then report back cause there are a lot of things that can cause a stock car with nothing removed to not idle.

 

Thanks for the advise........

I'll try changing the fuel filter tonight.... The plugs are all looking good. I was afraid the old gas would cause a problem.....

The tank ran dry on me when I fired it up. It smoked like a bon fire would for right before it ran out.... I put 5 gallons of fresh gas in it and the smoke went away, and it sounds like it's running great except for the idling problem.
