J-Madd Posted October 24, 2006 Report Posted October 24, 2006 I've been running 112, but my drum is empty. I've got a friend that sells 118. Is there any added benefit at all to running 118 if it's running fine on 112. Mods are in my sig. Compression and elevation are about 160 psi and 300ft, respectively. Quote

J-Madd Posted October 24, 2006 Author Report Posted October 24, 2006 Gotcha. It runs cool enough now. I'll stay w/112 or 110. Thanks. Quote
dajogejr Posted October 24, 2006 Report Posted October 24, 2006 Shit...I run 110 with 185PSI and a TON of timing....you'll be just fine! Quote
Leadfoot350 Posted October 24, 2006 Report Posted October 24, 2006 160 and 300ft you can run pump gas. Your throwing your money away. Quote
dajogejr Posted October 24, 2006 Report Posted October 24, 2006 160 and 300ft you can run pump gas. Your throwing your money away. Bottom line is listen to your engine...but, 160PSI and +4 timinig...I'd bet you'd need a little more ocatane than premium. 112 or 118 I agree is borderline...but, 93 may not be enough.... Quote
06BansheeSE Posted October 25, 2006 Report Posted October 25, 2006 Where does someone buy race gas from anyway? Quote
Bansh-eman Posted October 25, 2006 Report Posted October 25, 2006 Where does someone buy race gas from anyway? we have a place in san diego that sells it on the pump... speed shops sell it too... Quote
okbeast Posted October 25, 2006 Report Posted October 25, 2006 Some local airports will sell 100 AV but some guys wont/dont run it because its lowlead i guess. Quote
Bansh-eman Posted October 25, 2006 Report Posted October 25, 2006 (edited) Some local airports will sell 100 AV but some guys wont/dont run it because its lowlead i guess. you dont need lead in a 2 stroke... thats why we have pre mix... all i run is 110 unleaded Edited October 25, 2006 by Bansh-eman Quote
Big Blue Posted October 25, 2006 Report Posted October 25, 2006 Some local airports will sell 100 AV but some guys wont/dont run it because its lowlead i guess. If I remember it is low lead as far as av goes higer than regular leaded race fuel. Bansh the lead does help alot with lubrication 2 strokes love it. Quote
strokersquid Posted October 25, 2006 Report Posted October 25, 2006 i use the " instead of lead " additives for extra lubrication. never had a seizure but im pretty tame in mods lead is pretty hard om sparkplugs too Quote
greg_banshee Posted October 25, 2006 Report Posted October 25, 2006 how much lead additive would you put in a gallon of pre mix ? Quote
dajogejr Posted October 25, 2006 Report Posted October 25, 2006 how much lead additive would you put in a gallon of pre mix ? You don't need it....just use a quality two stroke premix. However...round here, you can't find race gas that doesn't contain lead. So...for that reason, I run 40:1 in race gas bikes and 32:1 in pump gas bikes. Yes, aviation has less lead, but is lower in octane to. Normally 100. Quote

Bansh the lead does help alot with lubrication 2 strokes love it. there is NO need for lead to lubricate a 2 stroke. if that was the case then alky would need some additive to it... love it or not its not needed i use the " instead of lead " additives for extra lubrication. never had a seizure but im pretty tame in mods lead is pretty hard om sparkplugs too like dajo said use a quality premix and you dont need any additive Quote
