I'd start with a compression check, check for vacuum leaks, and then do all the usual tune-up stuff.

Do you need a special engine pressure gauge to check on rotaries? usual tune-up stuff? meaning new fuel filter, air filter, spark plugs, those type of things i'm guessing? i do have a vacuum leak, haven't been able to get up to 17 psi, can't find where i'm leaking though.

A regular compression gauge with the valve core removed will work. Look for pulses of equal magnitude. I believe there is a detailed discussion of this elsewhere on the forum.



The vacuum leak could very well be the problem.
