well what I did was a poor mans compression test
the first time I did it was right after i bought it and it sounded like one of the seals was weak I guess.
I did it recently after it had cranked and built up oil preassure with fresh oil and it sounded 100% even. From what I understand rotary engine need oil to build up compression so Im guessing it was just so dry it couldnt get any compression. please correct me if im wrong, Im just here to learn.
