AZSand had been running that set-up.

There are others out there running the FCR's Drunk.

I have plenty extra jets to drill out, any ideas where to start on size guys. Thanks in advance!!!! My 720 runs on the hot side when ripping so this might be the answer[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] Fun trying something new

Sanbomber u better hold onto that 720 when running alky. It really does make it rip and that is no lie. I would like to see the HP increase on urs when u get it dialed in on alky. My suggestion is run it could see a huge difference.

If you want to run gas through your motor to purge it just buy an IV bottle. Take the fuel line off the carb and attach the line from the IV bottle and put some gas in it and crank her up. Once the alky runs out it will start running bad. Let it run a little gas through it and cut it off and its done. Change the lines back and you are ready for the next time. I used to do it everytime I put it up for the day but now I do it about once every 2 months. I also just went into my motor and it looked great. No ill effects from the alky. Ive run it for about a year and dont purge it very often. Ive gone as long as three months but I do suggest a top end lube.

Why do you need to purge ? Is the alcohol attacking the rubber parts of the carb ? What compression are you using ? Will you see any gains with a stock motor ? What do you need to make an efficient alcohol motor ? What kind of increase will you see over a pump gas , stock ds , w/ pipe ,cdi ?

I would recomend a higher compression piston because alky loves high compression. You will see alot more power out of ur plant when running alky, It is unbelievable. You will need an alky carb which the TM45 and lectron will do great. And u can also run the carbs on gas if u have to. If u have an aftermarket carb then just pull the main and pilot jet out and try it if u like it than order the ronwoods alky kit or talk to mr.hp about the lectron.

The alky atracts water and is corrosive. It's a good idea to change your oil often too.
