Has Anyone Used A Demon Card In A Rotary 12A Bridgeport Engine??

That is the question... I need help, because I will buy one if you tell me that is a good option for rotary engines.

Please advice me; I`m running the old nikki carb but is not sufficient for my engine and I need a better option for it...

WARNING!!! Demon carbs go through the same quality control as $39 Taiwan built DVD players. I have no experience with them on rotary engines, but have messed wiht them on V8's. 2 of the 3 Demon carb I dealt with BOTH has INSANE amounts of machining debris all over the insides of them. One we pulled the bowls off of to rejet it before it even went on the engine thank god because we got about a teaspoon of aluminum shavings from each bowl. We completely tore it down and cleaned the rest out of the passages. The other was put on the engine and it ran like crap only to find the shaving later on and had to rebuild the carb. I have heard of other people having this same problem with them. I don't know how they let them leave the factory like that. They seem to work good when redone, but I'll never use another one again.

Wow!! Thanks for your advice man... I really didn`t think that from a "Factory" like this but if you said it is because you really have seen it.

Ok, I will wait to buy my 48 IDA Weber for my car.
