    Yeah, in order to really run alcohol effectively you have to almost double the size of the carb jet. I've wanted to do a bit of an experiment and run a 212 predator motor on isopropyl alcohol to see what it can do. Honestly my buddy said if you use alcohol and double the jet size you can make 3 more horsepower out of it but I want to test his theory

      I have done this on my triple su carb Holden Torana and it ran but driving it was sluggish even with a high compression engine. But I had no idea that I should have advanced the timing? And setup the carbys to pour the alcohol in basically! Lol It was around 22 years ago tho

  • @randomsurvival5004

    The engine was sputtering because the flash rate is different than gas alcohol burns faster so if you had adjusted the carburetor for more gas it would have worked fine

    thank you. i will like to try the alcohol with some trimmer oil i do not if this will work. once i used an old trimmer withi notromethanol, yes RC model fuel. it worked but i think overheating destroyed the engine. yet, the tool lasted only one round but worked better than original settings. that is as far i went in the early 2000's
    more experimentation will be a worthy information. the other alternative is biodiesel, but the engine needs to be modified for glow plugs like diesel engines instead a spark plug.
    i hope my experience helps.

    !!! My successful "variant" (see end of comment). Found ur vid after running out of gas in my riding mower midway through cutting near 1 acre yard. I thought of the movie "Lawless", and... proceeded to cautiously "refuel". **I didn't follow your example 100%, but kept close. My "3 part" mix (total combined liquid volume 1.5 Cups): (1cup) 91% Isopropyl alcohol, (1/2cup) 2-propyl alcohol, and (2 fluid oz) fuel stabilizer "Sta-Bil". ## Pros: EASY start/run of the engine & Cleaner exhaust emission & Fair run time. ## Cons: Very volatile (flash point 59 °F) & Increased throttle by 1/4%. & AFR was a little tricky w/the choke. & Higher detonation = Faster consumption rate / shorter run time. & Engine temps limit safe run time. (Long story longer, it works if careful and user discretion)
    1 1/2 cup Mixture ingredients:
    • 91% Isopropyl - local store
    • Sta-Bil - local auto-parts store
    • 2-propyl alcohol - local Electronics store (safe/not common/but cheap, use caution)

    Years ago before my main channel got taken down, I put up a VIdeo of a Lawn Mower running on Everclear.
    Branksome. Put some in the Tank. And it did a Great job. Even mowed grass with it.
    Thing is? For Small engines? Alcohol just makes sense since it burns so clean and does not have all those additives.
    For the life of me? I have no idea why this is not sold everywhere since its cheap to make and can be and has been made right here at home.
    Heck, it should be less than dollar a gallon with how cheap it is to make!
    Best part however is just how clean it runs
    I can deal with cleaning out a Carb. Or flat or replacing a gummed up one.
    What I hate is Gasoline fumes since they put all that stuff that is great for your car, but not so much if you like to walk behind a mower, week wacker, or blower.

    Wondering if a diesel alcohol blend might work in the mower. Idea is to use the alcohol to light off a open flame no the diesel doesn't have a choice. But what gain? Fuel milage maybe? Torque HP comparison would be very interesting. I'm fairly certain it'll run it'll just take a min to figure out the mix. Alcohol burns hot would the diesel bring the temp down?

      @@bluewave7120 Those run on pure methanol which burns hotter and is more similar to ethanol which goes in your car, (ethanol also goes in your belly) isopropanol is more similar to acetone and both dont burn as good as methanol or ethanol, mostly because any isopropanol liquid under 100% contains water which can drown your engine. Methanol is like the complete oposite of diesel, it burns way hotter and is far more explosive. Gasoline burns the hottest and if a dragster were to use standard unleaded gasoline it would probably melt itself after a few runs. Thats why they use methanol. More power and less heat. 🤙
