It's a POSA carb. Most POSAs drive Hondas though.

They've got a small following with the Air-cooled VW crowd, which lives and dies by Webers and Dellortos.

What does POSA stand for? And why the hell would someone want to put that shitty lookin Lawnmower carb on a Rotary?

wonder how hard it would be to boost, looks good for a draw thru setup, two of them would look cool side by side.

Well, they might look cool, but where the hell would you ever find a second one? At first I thought it was a slide carb, like an old SU or something... Weber, RB/Holley, Dellorto and Mikuni have us covered - there's just no way that thing would keep up.

It was an old early attempt at fuel injection, we used to see them all the time on motorcycles. Can't believe it would begin to feed a mazda. Maybe 4 of them!
