it is .40 over with wiesco pro lites right now has duncan racing power head cpi pipes i was just wondering what the basic stuff for alcohol would be besides carbs

 

Thats it and learning how to tune a bike on alcohol is a whole lot different than gas. I am still learning how to tune alcohol. Burn marks are different.

hmm

 

need to gap at .18 on the plugs, make sure the ignition is REALLY good

 

need oil that mixes with alky castrol 927, klotz supertechniplate and redline alchohol oils?

 

need FRESH alky not that stuff thats in your buddies garage from 2 years ago that he gave you for free

 

if running ANY other carb besides lectrons you will have to drill dump tubes and buy needles and mains and much larger pilots. you will probably blow up a few motors from lean hangs and sucking the bowls dry or wrong jetting etc.

 

if you really want to go to alky the best "noob" alky carb is the lectron set up by PACKARD! MUCH easier to tune and much less likely ( but still will) to blow a motor.

 

its really best to have a experienced alky person help you out the first time
