HELP Weber/Half bridge question!

Hi, I posted this in the performance section and got no replies so here goes-Im building a half-bridge 12a because i still want to use the stock 2 piece apex seals. And for carburation i plan on using my 45mm sidedraft Weber. My question is will this setup work ok?. Some people in the first gen. forum said it wont work very good because of the 2 barrell Weber. Anyone ever try this setup?.

Premix is better for the engine, anyway... you know that you're injecting clean, designed-to-burn lubricant instead of nasty ol' sump oil.

As for linkage... which intake manifold do you have? The linkage should come with the manifold/carb setup.

Webers are the best carb set up for a rotory.

Who ever told you it wouldn't work must have been ****** with you, or they just don't know **** about what they're saying.

It will work but a 45mm DCOE is too small for a half-bridge 12A.

And one of the benifits of a half-bidge is the ability to use a four-barrel carby to take advantage of the staged secondaries. ie. Good response from the street-ported primaries down low and mid/high rpm power when the bridged secondaries open up.

Personally, I would run some sort of 4-barrel or then just get a 48 IDA Weber.
