reded Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 thanks for the reply.heres the thing,when i go riding i dont want to do anything exept ride,and after the sun comes down,i start asking my riding biddies wheres the beer? :beer: is alky going to give me that much more power?say we line up 2 4 mil cubs 1 w alky,and 1 w race gas how much would the alky cub win by,say in a 600 foot race.sand of couse. :beer: :: If you line up two 4mil cubs, 1 on alky, 1 on gas, better give the dude with gas a damn good pair of goggles cause he's gonna be eating sand for 600ft. If you wanna go fast, ditch the gas. It takes 5 mins tops to purge with the right purge bottle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badassbanshee479 Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 better put a fuel pump on it if you are gonna run it out 600 ft! you will suck the float bowls dry and that will be the end of your top end! purging is not bad at all takes like 5min. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6136815352508756093 here is a video of a fast racing 4mill on alky (blue bike) giving a fast 4mill on gas the head start. these are both cub motors built by the same builder.

bigboybanshee Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 My vote goes for keep running gas and add nitrous That's what I'm gonna do with mine next year :beer: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2bzy2p Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 (edited) better put a fuel pump on it if you are gonna run it out 600 ft! you will suck the float bowls dry and that will be the end of your top end! purging is not bad at all takes like 5min. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6136815352508756093 here is a video of a fast racing 4mill on alky (blue bike) giving a fast 4mill on gas the head start. these are both cub motors built by the same builder. you dont have to have a fuel pump if u run billet bigger bowls youll be fine,, and reded is correct alky is the only way to go, u go through it faster but its cheaper!! purging is no big deal like red ed said,, u unhook your fuel lines from your pingel and hook up lines from a purge bottle. just make sure your not lean always stay fat on the tuning an youll be fine ,it is a lil more unforgiving than gas if your lean though, doesnt take very long to pop but its still reliable.! my 50cents and as far as the gas giving the alky a head start, that rider must SUCK!!!! thats 80% of the race is the rider! or hes not set up like the other there are still many factors involving stuff like that that does not have anything to do with the hp gain you will have over gas!

badassbanshee479 Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 dave is one hell of a rider. and I dont think I would run a bike out that far even with the billet bowls. why chance it when a fuel pump is only 40.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dajogejr Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 dave what are you doing losing to a headstart lol... He he....JT and I are gonna have some good races this next year, I can't wait!!! He has the faster bike...no doubt. Keep in mind, JT was GIVING me the leave at Silver Lake. Our bikes are same motor. Mine is (was) on gas, 35PWKs, stock port cub (just cleaned up) with all new ignition, stock tranny, stock clutch. JT's is on alky, override tranny, lockup, drag port, and lower than mine. Plus...he's geared one taller in the front, and I think his paddles are a hair bigger than mine, not sure. What you see in this race is exactly what I expected going into the weekend. Him and I are very close in weight, I'd say....right JT? I knew I'd give him a pretty good race...but, the longer it got...the worse it would be for me. Until you ride a bike with an override and lockup, you're kidding yourself, really. My bike ran damn fine all weekend, but....I'm going bigger and better too. JT's bike has a better flowing Pingel Valve, HUGE floatbowls and a float missing out of each carb...and I'd still be a little nervous without a fuel pump longer than 300 or so feet. The fuel pump might be 40 bucks, but....you'll need carbs setup to run a fuel pump. Older sled carbs use fuel pumps....so, figure that in the cost. But, I won't even think of running alky without one!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bada450r Posted November 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 yes you guys are right,but i have beat some alky burnig shees,i think the bigest was a 7 mil t rex,the guy running it said that his shee was running pretty.all i know if its going to be twice the work to keep my banshee on good running shape,ill probably wont do it just yet.the hard part for me is i want to build one pissed of 4 mil,ive seen a 4 mil cub beat a 8 mil. :: :beer: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
