I had a friend run a ball bearing from his carb through his 12A Rx-2. It
cost him a rotor, rotor housing and new apex seals. The way that the rotor

fouled by the apex seal and housing. Similar to carbon lock.

"rotor "wobbles""?   There is no stinking rotor "wobble" :-)

The rotor rotates and the center of the rotor moves in a perfect circle.

The "wobble" must be an optical illusion.  Maybe because of the
varying chamber volumes.
