Michael,
These types of ideas show up on Paul's site from time to time. There was also a variable orifice carburettor that was "Super Simple" too. I mentioned at the time to Paul that the carb might violate Lectron patents. As such you can figure that the logic was good. You usually find in practice that the implementation is rarely as simple as you thought it would be. It might work, but it would be a complete devlopment project of totally unique components. Ok if you have the time for such a project, otherwise get a commercially available carb or EFI. The thing that most people ignore is that there is no way around the development time needed. A lot of people expect to put Tracy's EMS on their engine and never need to tune anything...well hello that's not the way it works. That isn't a knock on the system either, just a realistic comment that NO SYSTEM that hasn't had EXACTLY the same setup as yours is going to work the same. So this is a long winded way to say that while Paul's idea is probably sound, unless you could design it yourself you would probably be better off with a comercially available system.

Subject: [FlyRotary] Paul Lamar's Simple Fuel Injection

I haven't seen any response on this list to the article that Paul Lamar
posted a couple days ago (below).  I'm very interested in objective
discussion of merits and flaws, and there hasn't been much on the Rotary
Engines list.   Has anyone read it?  Any opinions?

Thanks,  Michael
