That 250 RPM should be fine. Prime with a 50/50 mix of fuel and motor oil. Oil pressure before start by cranking with the plugs out and no power to the ignition system. Instant oil pressure on start up.
Keep one hand on the engines water outlet to confirm coolant flow. First starts are a thrill every time. Good luck.

2) Is 250RPM enough spin to start a rotary?  I know Lynn has emphasized
that they start better the faster they can be spun.  Will 250 give an
easy start?
