On the subject of race gas
delphipro5:
I am convinced I need to run some sort of race gas in my bike after the rebuild (reference thread: monument to the 2-stroke - to see the build.)
I am just wondering what it is that you need to change and why. I am getting the head modified to run it and the carb work is being tailored to it as well. I would just like to Know what the differences are that need to be done and why.
I belive it will be better for the bike to be running a high octane leaded racing fuel as opposed to the crappy 10% ethanol 91 oct. junk I get out of the pumps up here! That stuff gums up EVERYTHING! Am I right about that??
I know these bikes prefer a high oct. fuel, and the benifits of lead in keeping the engine running smooth sounds a lot better than using crap pump gas to me. I am planning on getting some of VP's U4.4 to use. Do you still mix it with oil the same way you do reg. pump fuel? Also what are the chances of getting false detonation and blowing your engine with this stuff?? THAT I DO NOT WANT! I figured the bike would thank me if I led it away from the general watering hole and gave it bottled water instead! But I don't want to have it drinking posion ethier!
Just loooking for some insight and intel. lemme know whatcha think.
