Just out of curiosity, do many people use a carb setup on their
aviation Wankel's? Figured I'd ask since I've seen a few questions
regarding the standalone ecu for fi and not much regarding getting
a carb on the 13B (assuming most people use 13B's.)

Not many. There may be one or two. The fact is an aviation carb
is as much money as a fuel injection system. I think Ken Welter
uses a 48 mm Weber carb. Webers cost over $1000 and are not easily leaned.
Twin 48 mm Mikunis might be had for less than $750.

 Yes I run a 48 Weber, have about 1400 hrs on the setup, cost on one
is about 400 bucks for the carb and about 180 for the manifold, they
can be leaned but it takes a bit of work but the good thing with the
Weber is that they are very sensitive air pressure and compensate
them self quite a bit, they will run to 10,000 ft very well without
leaning but I would still suggest a leaning system.
