What he needs to do is check to see if he is getting ignition and check all his grounds and get new wires.

When u did the compression check did you take out the check valve on the compression tool. Remember you are checking three faces. One side might have 85 and the other might have 0. The check valve will make the motor seems as its a good motor...when the motor is actually bad.

example
Face 1: 0 psi
Face 2: 0 psi
Face 3 85 Psi

The check valve will give u a compression of 85psi

putting ATF is not a good idea since it can damage the motor even more.A 13b can run on one housing so it might be something else.

If the spark plugs have gas on them...you seriosly have a problem since the fuel distribution is on the other side of the motor. Try mounting a flood switch to save u some time.
When you check a rotary with a piston compression testor you check for 3 pulses.

If you cant check it by that,you pull out a plug and check for whooshes.
Booth front and rear are fine.
