Rx8 won't start

Well I stored away my rx8 2 weeks ago for the winter up at by brothers house. I was there last week it started up fine I let it warm up revved it then shut it off. I was there yesterday and I went to start it and it would not start battery is fully charged and I tried using jumper cables she still wouldn't start.

Any suggestions I was going to leave it until spring time to get it going.

Thanks

What does it do when you try to start it? If its flooded i would highly recommend you get it deflooded before storing.

Sounds like you might have flooded it the last time you started it. Any time I start my 8 up to warm it up I take it for a drive. I don't start it and let it idle and then give it a couple revs and shut it off.

Car is going to be stored outside with cover over it. It's up in bowmanville you can hear the starter trying to start but it won't start. I'm going to pull the plugs this weekend see what's going on maybe the starter is bad
