Hi. Mine was blowing flames at idle (also a hurley rebuild-check my thread, not the best experience) I think it was possibly running on only the leading or trailing plugs so wasn\'t burning too cleanly and throwing fuel out the back. Another option is a leaky injector throwing too much fuel in. Another option is its loosing compression and running too rich (like mine did). Pip will be able to tell you. Good luck mate. Wankels. They are great and **** at the same time.

Regards,

Jonathan

(PS good check is take all plugs out, connect to leads and use some jump leads clipped to the plugs for a good earth. Crank it over and check each plug has a FAT blue spark. Little sparks mean its time for new plugs.The best tool to get the plugs out is the one in the tool kit.I\'m near leicester, fly over if your close and I\'ll help out if you like. 07779 11 69 43 for any advice too)

Its not right. But I haven\'t sold many performance cars without one last blast before sale day

I think backfires are caused by unburnt fuel entering the exhaust, OE exhausts muffle this very well so a striaght through will make it more obvious. Flames at idle is another matter. Wankels don\'t like running rich I don\'t think, I imagine the fuel can strip the oil of the housings walls and cause accelerated wear. i really definately would get it to Pips for a run with a wideband lambda fitted to check all is ok. I didn\'t  (because I was ignorant) and my engine was very shortlived.

Does it hot start ok?

Jonathan
