Just out of curiosity, what is required to make the swap? New carb, make sure all the fuel system seals are compatable and?

nothing extreme, but decent compression is probly all you need to make it burn. but to make it work at full potential is another story requiring some modifications. ive never seen or heard of these special seals you speak of :wink:

you dont need a new carb if you flush your fuel system with gas after your done each day never let the alcohol sit in there or you will have corrosion problems. the carb you have can be set up to run it just fine. other than jetting it really really rich theres not a whole lot to it. I have seen some great threads on the other sites about the setup. i will try to find the links and post them ok go here and read up http://www.ctracing.com/alcohol.htm
