[QUOTE="Rich Rohrich, post: 675172, member: 16241"] Not without major mods to the carb and jetting. The air/fuel ratio of alcohol is dramatically different so you need a much greater volume of fuel for the same amount of air being ingested by the engine. So the fuel passages from the tank to the float bowl usually have to be larger and the jetting has to be [b]MUCH[/b] richer across the board. A lot of two-stroke oils have real problems with alcohol so it would require testing the fuel and oil mix in a clear glass container and checking for seperation over a period of time. NOPE. Alcohol has the unfortunate habit of drawing moisture from the atmosphere. The more alcohol in the fuel , the more water it will eventually have mixed in. You could actually make more overall power with this fuel if you were willing to make a lot of significant changes to the engine, but you would trade off throttle response and ease of starting for that power. A bad trade off in my book. It's not a pour and ride type of fuel, and it isn't really the best choice for engines that see big throttle transitions and big rpm swings like dirtbikes do. I hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
