You options are jump the pump in the drivers side rear seat well.....hook up a 12V battery to the correct terminals and it will power up the pump
Otherwise you can open it up and siphon out the gas
How long are you going to let it sit...the gas will be more than OK for 6-8 months. Longer if you add some fuel stabilizer to the tank

I agree with most of that but you cannot pay for knowledge. It would be easier for me to do this myself then to find somone who will. I have some measuring tool and can get more. Im only 29 years old and i dont care if it takes me years to build this beautiful car just the way i like it. I know nothing about piston engines. But somthing about the rotary just captures me. I will not give up and I appreciate all the help and tips along the way.

But I totally get the desire to learn how to do it yourself. Once you gain the knowledge and experience you are ahead of the game for sure.

Thats the plan. The few rotary cars around here dont really have anywhere to go. There is some old knowledge but most wont touch the renesis.

Back to square one. Before the rebuild my 8 would not start. I had low compression via coolant seal. Now It cranks but will not start. it was kicking like it wanted to start. I checked plugs and they are getting wet. I’m getting little puffs of smoke out of the exhaust pipes. Would it be bad to pull start it where it’s a fresh rebuild that hasn’t been running yet. Please help me.
New on car: coil kit,wires and plugs
batt and terminals
front o2 sensor
ess
omp lines were cleaned
