If you're running B35 race fuel, then it's 101 octane, not 114. It should not be overkill for 11:1 compression. In fact, that fuel is intended for low compression engines. Check out (Phillips B Series Race Fuels for further information.

It is common practice to run some type of oil in 4 stroke motors that run on alcohol for top end lube, such as Klotz Uplon. Only small amounts are used. This provides more lubrication for fuels such as alcohol that are "dry" and "abrasive" compared to regular gasoline. Check out Klotz Lube for more info.

Seems to me if you put a new head on 3 months ago, and then had it jetted via dyno w/ air:fuel ratio 1 1/2 months ago, you ought to be correct on the jetting now. Perhaps you have something else going on.

Regards,

Rog

Z- Are you running the factory pilots? You probably need to bump them up one size. What headpipe? Some might be thinner than others. You losing any coolant or pushing any back to the overflow bottle. I have had some problems with a local shop screwing things up. No i take matters in my own hands(AND raptorrc's) and we do it all in house now.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] Thanks for the link Zombie

Here's what I've found out. It was nothing, I was just freaking out. I guess it's so hot here that the machine will run alil hotter. I rejetted
and that might have been it. So I'm going to run 110 octane and then we'll see what happens. Thanks guys, I appreciate the info.
