1999banshee1999 Posted March 8, 2009 Report Posted March 8, 2009 Is it safe to run E85 in my banshee, I am running 17cc dome and have been running race gas and was just wondering if I could use it. I also have a single carb set up 35 mm and was wondering if any knows what part number the throttle cable would be it is a thumb throttle. Quote
swrbansheeboy Posted March 8, 2009 Report Posted March 8, 2009 not sure on the part# for the cable but dont run the e85, i just got done rebuilding a shee for a guy who was trying to run e85 and he burnt it up several times. he's also running a trinity single carb set up and this last time he had the largest jets in the carb he could find and 22cc domes in his cool head and still burnt it down. to run e85 you basicly have to build the bike like your running alcohol, after you factor in the fuel consumption and all the time and effort plus trial and error of getting it running right your better off sticking with race fuel. its predictable and safe, e85 is sketchy and the gains in cost to me arent worth what it takes to make it work.... i'm sure there are many others here with other opinions but mine is just stick with whats working for you now instead of jumping into something else...
