locogato11283 Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 Timing n compression = powa , pump fuel= Haha, exactly. I can't imagine running pump gas. I'd have to build a bigger motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dburnexx Posted March 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 Yea it's a trail bike and I wanted something reliable in the 70 hp range on pump gas so I can afford to ride a lil more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheerider11 Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 It would do better-ish with more compression, timing and race gas.I wish I could. But it just cost to much. I burn at least 8 gallons a ride. Vp sells for about 90-100 bucks per 5 gallon. Pump today is 2.06 regular. 2.28 93. I have to fill up my truck to go ride. Food and materials. It cost about 150ish for me to go ride for a day. I just can't swing the expense. Like I would imagine is the reason for most running pump. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheerider11 Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 is ethanol not an optionNo. I live in new jersey. We are the most regulated state in the country. There isn't one Atv/orv friendly area in the entire state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadbeat Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 i meant for a cheap high octane alternative, cant you get it at the pump? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleeper06 Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 I'm not saying I can't get a bike to run great on pump fuel and for shee rider that's his best option for his riding conditions. On the other hand same motor/carbs with more timing and compression the power delivery would be way diffrent and would come on sooner and more aggressively . I was reluctant to go to alky at first now I don't think I would ever put gas through it again. To me you spend a ton of money building a motor and then stuff pump fuel in it that your never really certain what your getting , most pump gas bikes that I've seen and done some tests on are rite on the verge using 93 and I mean 90% of the builds kick 155 static . I know people using alky succesfully in those ranges I know there's other factors in race motors but that's exactly what these engines are race motors detuned to run inferior fuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjdgriff Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 I have pretty well decided to jump up to 110. The biggest thing stopping me is that it is a 30 min drive one way for me to get it. But I may just start buying it in a 55gal barrel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
