Default Alcohol

You will burn about twice as much alcohol as gas in most cases. You need to have a fuel system that will deliver twice as much. The biggest problem with alcohol is leaning the engine out. Make sure your pump is up to the task. You will need a 10 line going up at least with a 6 return line. We like to use a return line after the fuel log so that the engine can get fuel to the bowls quickly. If you have not messed with alcohol before you might want to get some help. You will run a little less timing in most cases. Most guys that are racing run a top lube their fuel to help with the corrosion issues. Do not let it set in the carburetor for very long. If you are not racing or running the engine on a regular bases it is a good idel to drain the fuel and pore some gas into the carburetor. Good luck, Keith Craft
