In developing the intake system for the one-rotor, I got some surprise.

When I got to the point of running both ports, side and P-P, on one carb
each, I tried

to coordinate the cup(close-up butterfly) with the carbs, there was no

impact from the cup at idle or anywhere else up to 3500RPM. Starting the
engine with

the cup full open was normal. Naturally, I removed the  cup and the

engine is just running fine. Throttle response with the P-P carb alone is
very smooth and

solid. Idle speed is now at 1500RPM with the mixture not optimized yet.
So much for the cup in my case only.
If what I observed here holds up, the combo port idea may be dead making

the one rotor a more simple and better engine.

This also reminded me of the NSU Wankel Spider, which did not have a cup

and was running very fine.

I think the NSU used a two barrel carb. One large venturi and one small.

Richard,
Is that with the early PP timing.
