Ok, you've seen me before and I am totally not one of your haters man. But I have to say this, why does everyone insist on murdering their starters trying to start a freshly rebuild engine? You aren't suppost to run starters that long man, they overhead easily.

@DivineWindSerpent Mazda starters are actually pretty robust. At least, I've never seen one burn out.

[DivineWindSerpent]

@aaroncake Are they actually using a stock OEM Starter? I'd expect something aftermarket. And even then browsing through the service manual it says you shouldn't have the starter running for more than ten seconds, and you should allow 30 seconds to a minute between starts to let it cool down. I've never seen a starter blow up, but my buddies 90 FC GXL starter is having some issues because they've been beating on it so much, trying to get the car to start.

@DivineWindSerpent I don't think there are any aftermarket starters for the RX-7. Not saying they won't fail of course, but it seems that Mazda thought about the possibility of a flooded engine when spec'ing the starter.

stupid

@osnapitzKaileyxoxo Says the 14 year old who's YouTube channel consists entirely of videos of her dancing...

[aaroncake]

@Rotaryisgarbage A fresh bridgeported engine on an untuned standalone is rather to start the first few times until the engine has run in a bit and the EMS adjusted.

I hope you continue to troll my videos. It's always uplifting reading these comments because I know that someone who does this must have a very empty life, and it reminds me and others how good our lives are in comparison.

@osnapitzKaileyxoxo quite the educated comment. i see your intellectual logical fallacies render you as an entity almost synonymous in description with "troll".

[Bamchucknorris]

@aaroncake damn... she got wrecked lol

[mperformancerx7]

very nice! thanks for uploading and don't listen to haters, they just don't know about freshly built rotaries. My FC sounded exactly the same with the base tune. I didn't even manage to get it started the first few times.

@aaroncake don't buy a 626 then if the solinoid goes out you gotta replace the whole dang thing. Nice RX-7.

@DivineWindSerpent *GTU, my bad. My car is the GXL. (Or it was before I stripped the GXL out.)
