Build our own dual horizontal slide carb.

What do you guys think of this idea. The questions
is: can it be built in small quantities NC milled out of a large
chunk of aluminum  cheaper than the price
of two large motor cycle carbs at around $900 ?

The float bowls will have to be re designed to make them
less sensitive to aircraft pitch. The needles and jets could be
stock large Mikuni as well as some of the other parts.

Paul, you are driving Doc crazy and broke :)

Perhaps you and Doc will like this one better.
It entails going back to the round holes in the Teflon.
The ramps are exaggerated to make them easier to see in this
illustration.  The fuel comes in through the spacer in two 1/16 diameter
holes. Look closely you will see them. The edges of the hole in the Teflon
can be rounded in the area of the fuel feed hole to give a small venturi effect.
The instrument panel mounted pressure regulator is used to lean the fuel.

The over all length and cost of the basic slide throttle is reduced. It is the
same round hole slide throttle Mark Supinski has on his airplane with Tracy's
EFI. Mark should get his engine started this weekend.

Also we ran it on the dyno with the round holes. If necessary a wave spring
can be used under the Teflon to help seal the ramp area. It is also possible
to install a small race track shaped small O-ring groove around the ramp area
in the top of the Teflon slide in necessary.

I am hoping some of you people will tell me what you think of this idea.
It should be even cheaper than the PIXAXE and required less computer
expertize.
