fuel help - 02-18-2007, 03:36 PM

Ok so I finally decided to run 30%. How hard would it be to change over from 20 to 30 in a motor that has about 3/4 gallon of 20 on it? I know I will have to tune it. I just didn't know if it would run worth a crap or just keep runnin 20 on it till it dies lol
Help please

also I was thinking maybe mix 20 and 30 half/half so that it wouldn't be such a huge tuning diffrence. Also what will I have to concentrate on first? hs/ls?

Let me know if you need a piston/sleeve if that motor ever needs it. I have just under two gallons on mine and don't use it anymore.

if it starts being difficult to tune u may need to raise the deck height but it should be fine

just put the 30% in the tank and run it, tune if need be. Don't start twisting needles until you try it first.

DON'T do it this way. You will end up having to re-tune twice. Better to just run off the 20% you have, so it doesn't get wasted, and switch to the 30%.

the distance b/w the top of the piston at TDC and the head button. When the motors are run lean or sometimes if u raise nitro, or if the deck height is too low, you will get this pitting on the head button and top of the piston.
