could go up to a higher % of fuel and run it lean, and remove the shim.......set it as lean as you can and still be able to run WOT, and run the dog crap out of it!
 
a shim is a thin washer in between the engine head and the crank case. best way to kill it is lean it out and run it without the air filter.
 
okay ---the plan---

55% nitro
no air filter
leaned out as far as it will go and still run

i have a gokart with 2 seats were gonna follow the truck around in a parking lot (empty at night) at wide open till it blows
up:microwave:
 
30%nitro, no pipe and a long parking lot, the engine whont last long for sure but the car will be fast as hell

It wont run good With the pipe gone. IT will be to lean causing it to stall At WOT
 
yea they sell 50% fuel
its for like boats and planes but i can put it in there
I'm also thinking about adding in a little bit of coleman camping fuel

if you know anything about coleman camping fuel u know why:naughty:
 
hey bashmaster, i dont know anything about coleman camping fuel. can you school me?

higher octane levels than most racing fuel for superbikes and SCCA racing, its like 2 bucks a gallon and its worth every penny.
it vaporizes really fast and the fumes are so freakin volitle (poopy spelling i know) I'm sure coleman camping fuel would toast a glo engine faster than anyting else, + it would run like its on steroids for a little while...:ahh:
 
Coleman fuel is called white gasoline. It is basically pure gasoline without auto additives and dyes. Running it in glow engine would have the same results as running regular gas from the station: Big mistake!

that engine can be made to run better with a Sirio sleeve, and minor port mods. In fact, an old engine that you don't care about would be good to learn porting on.
 
Don't you just love questions like these ? Yeah, the guys said it best. Lean, no filter, lots of dust. Oh yeah, after it's so hot you could cook on it........hit it with some cold water !!
 
you can do what everyone says with the air filter n stuff or you can have fun seeing how lud it can get but puttin it up against a well an goin WOT. unless you will bun out. i dunno if that wil mess it up just thought.

i think I'm gonna try to port it instead, heck its better than just killing it, might as well kill it after i try to make it better...
