Richard,
Ah The magic 44mm. I know you are running a 12A
but at what rpm are you running out of breathing, provided you have had
the single that high. I would have to run the numbers but thought you
would get away with a 38/40mm carb and push up the velocity.

this flywheel is my design, it is steel with the
cut outs for balancing. The steel section is 14mm thick, and the ring gear is
250mm diameter, coming off a Metro Geo engine.
I calculated my hp from fuel flow using a BFSC of
.5 . May be a little optimistic. Mixture was slightly rich at the tests.
I am running now a Mikuni VM44 carb.

Richard,
We seem to be singing from the same sheet of
music in regard to projected HP at RPM, at optimum performance. So what
weight have you got on that flywheel, it seems to be a cut down manual cast
flywheel from a past photo. I figured I might need a heavier flywheel than
the flexplate and was considering having one of those aftermarket steel ones
made and have mounting holes included to suite what ever damper I
incorporate.
BTW this is single rotor specific if anyone was
confused.

Is anyone flying
with a Mazda 13B peripheral port engine? If so, how is it working? Can you describe the advantages
and disadvantages?
