Bob,

Absolutely terrific! Please report on the drivability and if you c= an tune the EC2 for sudden throttle application. I wonder how that wi= ll work since there is no accelerator pump function??? I would love t= o put a rotary in a Miata.

Subject: [FlyRotary] Sunbeam Alpine with rotary (air= plane) engine

I finally got my Alpine running with the rotary engine= that was in the
BD-4 before I wrecked it. Movie produced and dist= ributed via Youtube.

Once I got all the electrical connections correct, it fired right up.<= BR>I am using Tracy's EC2 and EM2. I had the large display on the EM2= , an
it wouldn't fit but the smaller display was a direct replacement. &= nbsp;I
just had to move the wires from one to the other. I'm reall= y
interested in finding out how well the EC2 will work in the auto
ap= plication. My speedometer is GPS based for now.

The exhaust is= a header with 2 to 1 collector that ends just under the
passenger seat.= Next stop is the muffler shop!

I was expecting more smoke on = first start since I had pickled the
engine with oil a year and a half ag= o. I used the two stroke oil, so
that may have reduced smoke outpu= t some.
