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?
