Known Issues

Apex Seals:

Carbon Buildup:

Carbon deposits can form in the rotor housings and exhaust ports, leading to rough idling or starting issues. Regular engine cleaning procedures are advised.

Oil Level:

Rotary engines consume oil by design for lubrication. It is critical to regularly check and maintain the oil level to prevent engine damage.

Starter Slow Crank:

Some early models experienced starter motor issues leading to slow cranking, especially when the engine was hot. Can be exacerbated by carbon buildup.
