It's a side port (4 inlet 3 exhaust) I am putting it in as it is
(factory assembled) for now, I may p-port it at a later stage. I will be
using a rotec throttle body (don't want a computer) had one on my other
EZ, boy was it economical.
Also I was wondering if you had a circuit diagram for a CDI that will be
triggered by a couple of hall effect sensors ?
Cheers Chris in NZ
The stock manifold is rather high but it will probably fit in an EZ.
What I have on my list of things to do is build a 12 volt high voltage
supply for capacitor discharge ignition systems using a new chip by
Linear Tech.
The LT®3751 is a high input voltage capable flyback controller
designed to rapidly charge a large capacitor to a
user-adjustable high target voltage set by the transformer
turns ratio and three external resistors.
The actual CD circuit is the same as the outboard/Vespa and the TC 3
rotor
CD systems.
That Rotec "throttle body" is a copy of the American Ellison
carb :) It will work great when you get it sorted out. See notaposa.pdf

Chris,
I am using the Rotec on my 12A based single rotor. I agree with you
that it
is a great item. One thing I found out as an issue is the fact that
it does
not operate properly when installed an cross flow position and the slide
throttle horizontal. Rotec never gave me an answer to that finding.
I also am using a tuned intake, which required a relocation of the
reference
pressure probe.
This was the best thing I have tested short of EFI .
FWIW.

Richard,
Are you using the TBI-40-3 ?
John Gibbons
Richard,
Thanks for the tip about the T/B. I will be installing it the same
as you by the looks of it, with the slide in the vertical plane, I am
using the 48-4/5. Why did you need to move the reference pressure probe,
was it for a physical reason ?
Cheers Chris.
Chris,
When you add an intake tube to the outside of the TBI, you have to try
maintaining the 40mm diameter all the way to the slide throttle, so you
will not lose a lot of the tuning effect by changing the cross section.
I made me an insert eliminating the built in intake trumpet, and with this.
the pressure pick up is put out of the air stream. This is only the
physical problem. The other issue is, if you pick up the pressure in the
TBI at the 40mm diameter, the static pressure is getting low enough at
WOT to totally close the pressure regulator. You need to take advantage
of the dynamic pressure increase at WOT for maintaining a rich mixture.
It took me about a year to get all that right, including the orientation
problem.
Keep asking when you get there, I will be glad to help.

Thanks Richard,
No doubt I will be needing some help, I had no problem with my
Ellison in my other LongEZ, I hope this will be the same.
Cheers Chris.
