If this is the wrong section please let me know

I am sure this has been discussed about 1200 times. I searched for SINGLE ROTOR. If anyone can help me out it would be appreciated. Do you have to make a different e-shaft, or can you cut down and reuse a stock one? I am thinking that making the exhaust and intake manifolds would be really easy. Would I need to add tons of weight on the flywheel to balance it? Is this remotely possible relatively cheap?

I have a spare engine and e-shaft. 1 rotor apex seals are bent up pretty bad from spark plug going in too far. I am thinking that the housing may be shot as well. I know it would be easier to just get another housing and rotor (rotor looks pretty bad also) and just rebuild the 12A but if I can do this fairly easy it would be a really cool project.

If I could actually do this it would be running a simple carb, like one out of a corvair. I figured using a corvair carb because I can get one for free/super cheap. I believe it is a 2 bbl maybe a single bbl. Not entirely sure though. The corvair had 2 of them on a flat 6 so I think that one would be enough gas for one rotor. At least to get it running and break it in a bit.

Ideas? Comments? Hey you are an idiot???

Thanks

Ask fellow forum user Dan Atkins, or as his friends call him, Atkins, Dan.

 

They may still have an old Prototype 12 single rotor over at Atkins I spoke to them about a few years ago. Otherwise I think you would be better suited to use 13B parts - Since Atkins has e-shafts for them. Dan?

Yes DAD still has the 12-A 1 rotor just sitting on the shelf .

if you call me or dad [David Atkins] @ the shop I can tell you faster than I can type it out.

We do have a NEW 1 rotor shafts With weights on the shelf.
