A friend of mine gave me a nitro r/c truck and I was looking at the fuel, it's a 20% Nitromethane with 16% lube. My math sucks, what is that in motorcycle terms, 20:1, 32:1,50:1? At $26 a gallon, I'm wondering how well it will make the weed eater run!

20% lube would be 5:1
If you can find a alcohol carb, "F" the weedeater, pour it in the 500....

Thats exactly what I was thinking.
I was really thinking just 1 gallon to 1 gallon of 927 50:1.

Your math does suck..... 1 gallon fuel to 1 gallon '927 = 1:1

Ha Ha Ha. 1 gallon of gas already mixed with 927! Probly be cheaper to just use Trick or something anyway. Just remember the stuff after I took a good whiff starting the damn truck. Waterering eyes, running nose, and coughing like I'm dying from emphazema!
