[QUOTE="MXFastGuy, post: 688493, member: 24476"] I ran methanol in 4 cycle karts and my experience is this: 1. It DOES make more power, providing you setup the engine properly. 2. It runs about 10% cooler 3. It requires richer jetting and advanced ignition timing (you probably knew this) 4. It does not necessarily attract moisture, you just have to be careful (much more so than with gas) to keep it in a cool, dry place and off the garage floor. Just try to use fairly fresh fuel. 5. It's really not all that corrosive, but it will eat aluminum and rubber over time. You need to run the engine dry of all alky after each race day, and ideally run gas through it to completely flush any alky residue out. You will notice if you don't flush with gas, over time everything in the carb will take on a white powdery coating that is hard to clean off. 6. It's safer to handle than gas and isn't so stinky! We're not exactly comparing apples to apples here, but those are my practical experiences with methanol. Hope it helps. [/QUOTE]
