Alcohol makes more power than gas...... Thats why people run it... Its pretty much just for drag racing.... To run alcohol you must modify the carbs... And in my case, run a fuel pump as well...

i guess, but it really shortens engine life. And it would be smart if u had a hi-compression piston. And alot of other mods to back it up...So yea, basically any quad could run on alcohol.
