[FlyRotary] Re: Non-EFI fuel
systems
I had originally considered using a carburetor instead of EFI, just
for simplicity. (No high pressure fuel pumps, fuel returns, etc). I
was not sure how to handle the leaning reguirements that go along with
changes in altitude. I hadn't considered using an aircraft
carburetor.
If I
were going to try to use something other than EFI, it would absolutely
be an Ellison throttle body. I put one of those on my old
RV-8, and it really worked great, even when flying inverted
:-) Nothing could possibly be any simpler, though they aren't
cheap.
Cheers,

The Elison throttle body wont flow enough air unless
you run two of them with is cost prohibitive.
I am running a 48mm Weber and love, I have an air ram
setup to create a pressure difference between the Venturi and float
bole for mixture control and it works fine.
