Also a fair test to Q16 would be M5, gotta compare super apples to super oranges...........

Listen to Lem................ Leave the jets alone, just add Q-16 and a 6000 converter................

This will be another example of a good engine that never got a good shake on gas before putting it on alky and every one will think that alcohol is the hp hero. (I know you have cooling issues too)

No one has proven to me it is, (on a good engine). Not saying it isn't I just don't know if it is.

When some one gets all they can out of a gas set up on a good engine, then goes to alky and picks up e.t.and MPH I will concede.
you got any Q16? i'll try it,you know me!

No but I know where some is close by............... Want me to pick some up?

i'm gona change the converter this week and maybe go back friday.if you come over i'd sure take some,but i probably wouldnt have time to come pick it up this week. Smile

Why not just put in smaller jets for the present fuel? It'd be cheaper/easier that going to Egypt and buy Q16 or M5.

i'll probly do just that Lem.i changed the carb for the last pass just to see what another one would run like cuz my 1050&1150 are the only two thats ever been on it.it was a c&s that didnt belong to me and i didnt want to change the jets or nothen without asking first so i just went with it.it had no p/v's,same as my 1150,and 87 jets in it.i also went up to 4000 chip form 3200 and the 60' picked up a little but mph fell off by 2mph.somewhere in the 91-92 range will go in it to try again.some Q16 would be nice to try out too though. Cool

i got the 5800 converter today Very Happy

it'll be in too.
