I am looking at a 92 turbo 2 that has been setting for 2 years. Is there 
anything I can do to help the restart process that will minimize the 
problems that rotarys have when they have sat along time.

thanks

Put some auto tx oil in the spark plugs holes and see if it turns over.
If it does then check the compression by removing the schrader valve
from a standard compression gage. Turn the engine over with the starter
and see if you get three pressure pulses in a row for each rotor.

If that works it ought to run fine once you get it started.
If you flood it stick a small hose connected to plastic squeeze bottle
with the engine set at 90 degrees after TDC for the front rotor into the 
lower spark plug hole. 180 degrees for the rear rotor. Suck the excesses 
fluids out and the engine will start sooner rather than later.
