I just was "lucky" enough to pick up an 84 1.3 non turbo RX-7. Owner said it ran when he parked it, 3 years ago. Since then its been setting up, covered. I was wondering what I should do first, as this is the first rotary engine I have worked on. I figure I would have to drain the gas tank and replace the fuel pump & filter, clean out the lines. I thought of removing the plugs and putting a little marvel mystery oil in teh engine and turn it over by had first, to make sure its freed up, then use the starter.
This is the fuel injected version, so is there anything else I might want to look at before I throw fire to the engine?
Thanks,
Ken

once you have made sure that it turns by hand (19mm socket on main pully) with a lubricant, make sure that coolant and oil levels are all correct, and have get rid of the old gas(if the fuel pump still runs , just change out the filter for now) and replaced with some fresh you could add some seafoam to clean up the pump/injectors, lines and eng. do a good once over on your brakes befor driving clean and re grease
