Interesting writeup
 I wasn't aware of the problem with vanished/ reduced compression which clearly makes starting hard. I have an old 4-stroke motorcycle running 5:1 comp ratio and a crazy high cylinder temperature, which can be a pain to start under certain conditions. However I've now, during 30 years experience with it, learned it who's in charge  A soundclip of this thumper is on its way. Other than that; what I imagine is that a rotary is quite similar to a two-stroke engine when it comes to flooding (from fuel) tendencies. Part from the vanished compression of course. Anyone having lived with a two-stroke knows that they also tend to flood if handled any other way than correct especially if half- warm. And push starting might indeed do the trick! -------------------- The engineers hoped to modify the boot lid in order to minimize wind resistance.The easiest method involved attaching
a rear spoiler, though that would detract from the vehicle's lines. Alternatively, the lip of the lid could be enlarged, though that would require significant more work. Naturally, the team chose the second approach, and set to work in a wind tunnel lab in Miyoshi. A while later, they emerged with the hoped-for design, which was both aerodynamic and aesthetically pleasing... 2000 Xedos 9 2,5.
