RadarRacing Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 Lots of people do. If you dragrace the advantages are more power when properly built and less heat. Also alky is quite a bit cheaper per gallon BUt if you are a duner who rides and not drags constantly your fuel usage will be much more. Fuel consumption is going to be close to double the alky usage vs gas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BANSHEE HP Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 methanol burns 2.74 times faster then gasoline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starwriter Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 methanol burns 2.74 times faster then gasoline Wrong. I can tell you from experience, burning grass out of the cracks in the sidewalk with methanol, that it burns slower than gas. That's also why it makes more power. You get a long steady push on the top of the piston, instead of a quick bang and it's all over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Madd Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 It burns slower. I think that was sarcastic. That's why you run more timing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprinklerman Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 Wrong. I can tell you from experience, burning grass out of the cracks in the sidewalk with methanol, that it burns slower than gas. Is that the official way to test the burn rate of a fuel? haha just mess'n with ya. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starwriter Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 (edited) Yep, you pour methanol on the grass in the sidewalk crack all the way down the street. Light it on 1 end and count 1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi... til the fire gets to the other end. The grass gives the flame color so you can see it.

satts Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 what mods have to be done to the motor to run it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
possum Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 first you need a flux capacitor. Then you have to find marty mcfly to jockey the bike back in time so you can learn what needs to be done to run alky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camatv Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 drilled cap or big holed billet cap, pingle fuel valve, big fuel lines, carbs set up for alky ( preferably lectrons so you can ride and not have to pull your hair out from jetting issues) a very very strong ignition, stock works fine but you need to make sure its all in good shape. plugs gapped to 18 tho. and preferably alky domes ( but gas domes usually work ok. alky domes made correctly actually work well on gas also. to do alky well a lot of timing is needed. with lectrons, and dyna you can actually switch to gas very very easily and quickly . a dyna with a gas map and an alky map flip a switch, change to gas needles, ride. this process can be done easily in about 10-15 minutes. if you want to run both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
