wait so how are you going to drive it without a clutch? direct drive seems like a pretty scary idea... especially with a wankel thats got the torque of a car engine lol.
this video was taken before the motor was pulled apart. if you pause it at the 13 second mark, you see the black vacuum line running from the top of the motor to the carb? well compression pulses from the rotor actually go through there, & down into the carb to pulse the diaphram inside, thus acting as a fuel pump. the metal pipe leading to the rotor housing in this motor was clogged, & so it wasnt geting any pulse. i have fixed it now, & it no longer bogs when you flip the throttle open :-)
lol i have 2 in the garage. dads gtd a 300cc like that with a turbo off some small jap car on a gokart. fuckin goes like the clappers. ill have to get it on video soon..
kennedy engineered products has a adaptor to put a rotary in a vw transaxle, so buy a vw rail or make a vw trans based go kart and bolt it up with the adaptor, basically a sandrail is a go kart lol
and a bug would be one if they werent so slow (in stock form)
I didn't even have to read the Q&A comments - Geez, Louise - a 300+cc Wankel!!!??? That's gotta be pretty zippy. Excellent work - let's see more video!
hey guys i have a rotary motor that came off a 83 rx7 its a 12a 2 rotor w/a 5 spd tranny. i am thinkig about putting it n a gokart or a small sand rail any tips that might help are welcome..will post pics of the engine tommorow.
bought it off ebay, search "wankel". so far i've had it up to about 60 -65 mph in a neighborhood, but i think it has some speed left. keep an eye out for a new vid here very soon
haha and then you have an old rx-7 in the background :D

how is it not take away power ??
colin340 4 years ago
chop of the pipe it's killing your power
colin340 4 years ago
you.. are a moron... that pipe is giving power.. not as much as it could.. but it sure as hell isnt takin it away
reffup 4 years ago
the pipe takes away power. on any peripheral ported rotary, any form of exhaust takes away power. colin340 is not a moron.
landon303 4 years ago
Ya, the best way to get the most power is to not even attach anything to the exaust manafold
