Known Issues

Apex Seal Wear:

Premature apex seal wear can lead to loss of compression and engine misfires. Regular maintenance and proper warm-up/cool-down procedures are crucial.

Carbon Buildup:

Rotary engines can be prone to carbon buildup in the combustion chambers and exhaust ports, potentially affecting performance and reliability. Manual may suggest periodic decarbonization procedures.

Oil Consumption:

Rotary engines naturally consume some oil to lubricate the apex seals. It is crucial to monitor oil levels regularly and top up as needed.

Ignition System:

Spark plugs and ignition coils require regular inspection and replacement due to the high-revving nature of the engine.
