 No the 4 cycle style lectron would work fine for our applications. I
just want everyone to know what we are talking about. You could use the
controlled pressure in the float bowl for leaning as Gordon mentioned. I
would appoach the leaning system carefully so you wouldn't eend up
flipping to severe lean conditions and siezing the engine.

***** Hi Bill,
any thoughts on the Lectron plastic float bowl sitting over the hot
exhaust; I think I prefer a metal float bowl.

Also, it occurred to me that we could replace the float bowl with a
metering block similar to the Revmaster or the Ellison,  thereby making
the carb into a simple low pressure fuel injection system and adjust
fuel delivery at the inlet, or as Paul suggested, with an adjustable
fuel pressure valve.
(The biggest throat Revmaster make is 40mm and the Ellison is very
expensive as we need two for Pport tubes)
