We present Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array observations of CO lines and dust continuum emission of the source RCSGA 032727-132609, a young z = 1.7 low-metallicity starburst galaxy. The CO(3-2) and CO(6-5) lines and continuum at rest-frame 450 m are detected and show a resolved structure in the image plane. We use the corresponding lensing model to obtain a source plane reconstruction of the detected emissions revealing an intrinsic flux density of Jy and intrinsic CO luminosities and . We used the resolved properties in the source plane to obtain molecular gas and star formation rate surface densities of and , respectively. The intrinsic properties of RCSGA 032727-132609 show an enhanced star formation activity compared to local spiral galaxies with similar molecular gas densities, supporting the ongoing merger-starburst phase scenario. RCSGA 032727-132609 also appears to be a low-density starburst galaxy similar to local blue compact dwarf galaxies, which have been suggested as local analogs to high-redshift low-metallicity starburst systems. Finally, the CO excitation level in the galaxy is consistent with having the peak at , with a higher excitation concentrated in the star-forming clumps.
