 Unfortunately, Neil, Finn is too cheap to buy one of Tracy's excellent EC2
fuel injection systems and do away with all these problems.  No, he would
rather spend endless hours taking off the cowling, unscrewing the spark plug
and giving his rotary a blow job.  He uses a carburetor and probably did not
spring the money for one with an accelerator pump {:>).  He's a bit
excentric unlike the rest of us.
