but if you think about it backwards, you say it takes X amount of fuel to go 25mph, and @12:1 afr, you have to open the throttle Y percent. when you switch to 15:1 afr, the amount of fuel you need to go 25mph is THE SAME, but the amount of air is bigger so you need to open the accelerator MORE. y+(15:1/12:1)

i hope that makes sense, its easy just to think of the gas pedal as a linear power delivery lever, but with a carb particularly, you can get fuel and air to be separately metered (weather you want it or not!).

a lot of new cars in europe have a "stratified charge" mode, where i think the throttle opens, and its fuel controlled like a diesel. i don't know exactly how you'd implement it on a rotary...

The same way the NSU people did it?
