jacquesraney Posted March 19, 2010 Report Posted March 19, 2010 So I just went to my local pro go cart track to pick up some 100 oct leaded.. they were out,,,they had 97.. which really had a 93 rating,,, a couple of the guys said its better to run higher than lower.. Is this gonna cause a problem... Ive ran 100 L in it for 3 years.. never a prob.. bought it used,, spoke with the owner briefly,, (broken english ) he said it always ran on 100.. he even put alky in it before.... what am I getting myself into... ????

overrevtricky Posted March 19, 2010 Report Posted March 19, 2010 I just posted a thread like this not too long ago. The consensus was that unless you have high compression, U may actually lose power using 100LL/110 race gas. Personally, I'm going to get the compression up before I start running 100LL avgas. I'm sure it works with stock jugs/pistons/heads but most threads say its not worth it, u may lose power. Hope this helps bro! Quote

I know its got domes.. he said a balanced crank shaft,,, pistons... cool heads..... I bought it through a cople differnt people.. I finally spoke with the owner and he said he did the engine right... took it apart,, redid all the mods,,, even ran alky in it,,, said to run 100 in it,,, just spoke w my boy who is on team TONY KART .( pro kart team ) . said not to sweat it. the worst he said could happen is it would run better !!!

brugal Posted March 20, 2010 Report Posted March 20, 2010 Not enuff info on the bike to get the correct answer. "the worst he said could happen is it would run better" Bullshit ,the worst thing that could happen is you fuck up your motor. You need to give us your compression and elevation for starters. Quote

Jereme6655 Posted March 20, 2010 Report Posted March 20, 2010 btw live in florida,,, sea level i guess,,,, you could always mix the 93 L and the 110L to get a mix that's should be around 100 L Quote
