Additionally, since these are built for aviation, you have a mixture
control.
Paul, Ellison is a substitute for a carburetor, some kind of 'new'
technology that's been around for some time and seems to be simple &
successful and has a good reputation. Avgas only, like a Cessna.
While there's no venturi they still recomend carb
heat. I'm sure there's a size that's overkill for the motor
now on your bench. They offer units for hp greater than
most of these rotaries can put out.
Your statement of 'carburetor or Cessna' really rang a bell with me,
kind of a wake-up call. As for expense, for me I wouldn't have to deal
with the cost or issues you're encountering with the fuel-injection
setup. Microtech isn't that cheap and sofar not proven that reliable
overall.
Rusty, why would you need more than
one? Consider Tracy's current intake setup for his
Renesis, essentially remove the injector hardware and replace his throttle
plate with an Ellison.
I've been sketching manifolds this morning and i can see they'd not be
that difficult to make out of either aluminum or steel.
Warning, I have no first-hand experience with Ellison's. Just
what I've gleaned from magazines and the internet.
