One thing I like about the Rotec is that when you shut down the engine there is on fuel leaking out the bottom of the throttle body, even if you don't lean the mixture. You just hit the prime button on the regulator one time and the engine is good to start for the rest of the day. Usually starts on the second or third turn. My engine never ran so smooth. I like it so far. I have not used the Ellison very much so I don't really know a lot about it. I know Mark Lankford had one on his plane. The Rotec has 50 tiny holes in the center bar that atomizes the fuel so you don't end up with droplets in the cylinder or uneven fuel distribution to the cylinders. That probably is the reason my EGTs are so close.

I did not realize the AeroCarb was a close copy of the EFS-2! I am running an EFS-2 on my 2.4 VW but I am looking at upgrading it to an EFS-3 as I think it might be restricting the airflow a bit at the moment. I wonder if the AeroCarb would be an option? I suppose I need to look at throat diameter. Fitting an EFS-3 would be easier though as the linkages would be similar to my current setup as shown here: http://zu-avb.hopto.org/ZS-VYZ/img_3378_std.jpg Fly safe, Rudi On 1/18/2012 6:04 PM, STEVE bennett wrote: > Just a small note, the Rotec carb, is not a fuel injection system, nor fuel > injector when compared to what a modern day automotive fuel injection system > is.
