Paul, I haven't been on the list, if that is the Rotary engine newsletter. I
would love to join, as I am now considering a rotary as my engine of choice.
Is the sign-up on the site? Thanks for your reply. I didn't know about the
publishing on the internet patent issue! Thanks for the tip. I am of an age
that I was a young Can-Am fan in your Chapparal days. The racing car
connection really pulled me into your site. I did some work for Kenny Roberts
3 cyl GP bike. Very small stuff really, but I found out a lot about newer
2-strokes. The power output is absolutely amazing! Honda putting out 200 HP
from a 1/2 liter is unreal. The engine was reliable as well, as race engines
go. They were using "funny fuel" from ELF to get those power levels. No oxy
bearing additives or nitro though, just a very special blend to prevent
detonation. The last of the 2-strokes was back up to about 185 HP using spec
fuel. Bill Jepson

Bill not a good idea to publish your email address or home address. I have no
idea who hundreds of people are on this list. The least bad thing that will happen
is you will get tons of junk email. We try to keep that down.

What do you want to know about Ken Powell's variable rotary engine port timing?
