Paul,

It seems that I might have flooded the RX-8 as it won't start. Battery is fresh, engine turns.
There are differnet ways to re-start a flooded engine. Wonder if you might have any suggestions on how to go about starting it.

Thanks!

Henry

Yep that happens. A small plastic  tube inserted in the lower spark plug hole can suck
the fuel out of the bottom of the engine. You won't get it all. If you position the
rotor just before the apex seal passes the lower plug hole then wait about
15 minutes about half the fuel can be sucked out. Then remove both
top and bottom plugs and allow the engine to rotate for 30 seconds
at a time hopefully the rest of the raw fuel will come out the spark plug holes.
Repeat several times.

Then put a set of clean dry plugs in and it should start.
