Hello Paul + Jose,

I've just tried translate.google.com with the summary / abstract of the text
of 2016. As far as I can see, it's ok.

Well, I already have started with the translation of the text of 2015 - can
throw it away now ... ;-)

Paul, please use google for translation of the parts you want to read.
It should work as long as your source text is not a facsimile (picture)
only.
Perhaps an OCR software can help in those cases ...

c/o Jose ...
thank you for the advice - manual translation with the use of dictionaries
is a pretty hard + time consuming job - no fun at all ... ;-)

Related to your question about glow plugs please see the enclosed old
patents by Toyota.

If you will run an engine with homogeneous mixture at higher power than
idle, you will see that ignition will occur much too early - combustion will
start as soon as the mixture gets in contact with the tip of the hot glow
plug - a bit like knocking because of an overheated spark plug ...

Of course, with direct injection there will be no problem - combustion start
is determined by the fuel injection timing.

It's late now here in "old germany" - time to finish ... ;-)

With kindest regards

Franky / Frank Herfert

Well put Frank. Thanks.

Thanks, the Toyota SAE paper I had, 790433 made no indication the Glow Plug cited was of their own design.

The system proposed by Paul, a continued firing Laser ignition plug may be in the end same as a Glow-plug.


I realized, from notes in several languages that if you translate, let's say Spanish into English or the reverse, the system works well, but if you try translating e.g., French to German, quality is not that good, in these cases I take an intermediate step translating into English, then from English into third language to check the direct translation French-German.


As I see you're expert and cooperative, I'd like asking a question.


I'm considering adapting a 602 cc engine Series A Citroën single barrel  Carburetor to my KC-27, it have the same duct diameter, the Solex carburetor has the advantage of having an acceleration pump, that doses an small amount of fuel upon pressing pedal, and also an idle brake, when you release foot from accelerator, the throttle doesn't shut instantly, but takes a bit to shut the gorge, avoiding jumps, and a momentary loss of lubrication and overheating of working surface, carburetor jets can be purchased as per the Wankel News tests, but the so called Needle Jet in the Bing 64/32/17 carburetor, rated as 2.76, seems larger than the bigger similar available for Citroen Cars carburetor.

I don't know if the smaller Needle Jet in the Citroen carburetor will generate a too lean working mix at idle, with the result of overheating and instability.

Any idea?

Have you ever heard about a Turbocharged OMC 45 HP RCE?

Thanks, best regards, + Salut
