When you blow it up let us know!
1. standard oil will not work with alcohol.(alcohol removes oil)
2. piston is special top is thicker to take extra heat.
3. To much muffler will cause blow by the rings & will score the cylinder wall.
Find some the guys in your area playing with the go carts running on
alcohol & they will fix you up.
If it's been broken I did it.
If its not broken wait till I touch it.

n Was an article in the NY Times this week.. It stated that more energy goes into making Bio diesel than you get out of it. Basically they say the only way to gain with Bio diesel is to reuse cooking oil.. It was from a study by Cornell for NY State.
