Paul-

BTW, you know this, but other might not.

Field elevation where I'm based is 6873 ft.  Running the starter with a
prop load means an engine rpm of well less than the standard 250rpm.
Using the Mazda coversion graphs (attached) we can see that 50psi is
a-ok.  (Vs. the expected compression of 85psi.  I find it interested
that mazda does not publish different compressions for the low & high
compression rotors -- despite that fact they will obviosuly be different.
