 out some time ago. Some of the last versions of two cycle engines
used variable timing in the
 intake and exhaust to improve drivability, even on the GP bikes
making 400 hp/l ! The comments
 about the rotary I.C.E. still being a relative baby do ring true.
A version of the variable inlet
 seems a perfect fit. Any plans to persue or too many irons already
in the fire? I know I would
 like to help.

Ken was going to build up an engine with them but then he got
shipped off to South East Asia. Are you back yet Ken?

Other than the idle I think it has few advantage for an aircraft
engine as they mostly run from 5000 to 7500 RPM. A simple P-port
would give the same or better power.

Paul/Bill,  Ken shipped the variable intakes to me, hoping I would do
something with them.  Would  you like to have them?     Jerry

Good idea Jerry. Bill Jepson may have more time.

BTW guys I think it best if we run them upside down from the way
I show them in the drawing. That seems to be the way NSU and
Mazda time the engine for low power and better idle.
