How would you control ignition timing at that point?
What ever happened to the lawn mower carb on the toyota?
Just decided not to touch that one?

Maybe backfire is the wrong word. If all your fuel ignites instantly and your timing isn't retarded then you will blow your rings. This is possible with hydrogen only. Combine hydrogen with GEET and it's very likely to happen. This can't happen with Wankel engine. Ignition timing is controlled different ways in different vehicles. Any mechanic worth a job knows how ignition timing is adjusted for the vehicle they are working on.
As far as I know the lawn mower carb is still running the Toyota just fine. If you are asking why use that instead of a 2-4 barrel carb. It's much easier to connect a small lawn mower carb to a 1/2" pipe. It provides more power than the stock carb can provide without the GEET. Why would you want to use a large expensive carb?
