George L, And all who may be interested,
I'm checking out the availability on direct injection parts. The Mercury Optimax 2-stroke, 6 and 4 cylinder parts should make it possible to direct inject the rotary.
Several cool items about this
injection are, you can inject into the compression side prior to the plugs, the system uses an air assist compressor (belt driven) to help the fuel pump giving super atomization, and the air
compressor unit also contains the oil injection pump (2 stroke remember) making it possible to do separate tank injection of 2 cycle oil for the apex seals if so desired!
Some of the FI savy among
us may know that Orbital Engines of Austrailia makes this injection for Mercury. The coolest part about that is that you can get parts form your outboard store pretty much anyplace. The injection
can be all plug side so no fuel on the exhaust problem. Another feature that is beneficial is that the outboards are designed for almost a 100% duty cycle so the equipment is pefect for our
continual high output needs. The injectors are electronic so they can be run by most of the currently available EMS units.
I started this search for Jerry Hey, and myself of course. I'll post more
info as it arrives if people are interested.
Paul, do you have that firing pulse comparison chart available? I believe I've saved those e-mails, but I'm not sure. Might even be able to use the EMS
box from the Merc. Tracy's EMS should run it as well.

"firing pulse comparison chart" is not ringing a bell. Can you describe it some other
way?

Do you mean torque pules comparisons like this?
