2. Is it possible for an engine to have only 70 psi compression on both rotors and still be able to start on its' own?

- Not likely. A bad O2 sensor or misfiring ignition could cause that. Any CEL codes?
- Yes. When I last checked mine 3 years and 5000 miles ago, I was 68 PSI rear and 72 PSI front. I still have no starting problems (after upgrading to 2 KW starter).

- Have you read all the troubleshooting stickies here?

Apologies if posted in the wrong forum. Wasn't really trying to troubleshoot, but was trying to double-check what my mechanic was telling me. I'll move or repost.
