Dude, 3 quarts of synthetic is real money. Pour that stuff through a coffee filter or something.

Good idea. I bought 5 qts for like $22. I plan on running with regular oil first, then switching to synthetic after, when I open up the side. I saved a little over two qts.

Man, if you think $8/ gallon is high stay away from nitromethane, $55/ gallon for that stuff. When I took my minibike to the mud rides I burned $150 worth of fuel in two days.

Is that straight? Like uncut pure Colombian Nitromethane?
Hobbytown USA sells single gallons of 30% for about $30 or 4 gallons for under $100 I think.

EDIT : 100% Nitro Free Shipping $53

Not sure about shipping or proximity to you?
Can you ship that kinda stuff?? lol

20.5 fl oz to fill it to the half way point on the dip stick. And the back is still lifted on stands.

Hobby nitro has castor oil in it, you may not want to run it through a real engine. Although I did once, as I told Ole FR, it just ran like poop lol

I mix my own with no oil. When I first started fooling with it I used model airplane fuel and it blew oil all over the frame but it ran great. The thing about nitro is that it uses even more fuel than it would on straight methanol being 52% oxygen by volume, so it requires a lot more fuel just to run. It likes a lot of timing too. My minibike straight rips on the stuff though. At 40% I wheelie it over backwards all the time. You can always tell when I've been riding it because my palms are all skinned up from sliding on my hands and knees.

The back fender is pretty mangled from all the loopouts.

The compression seems good!

After I GAB that 420 with a thinner gasket and milled head, I'm going to wish I got the electric for and extra $30 and a week earlier.

You got your gas out of lucky Pump #13!!!:surrender:
I am surprised they even have a pump 13 at the race track. Racers are very superstitious!
Triskaidekaphobia!

Well I'm guessing Dory is going to stay the F lost, cause it doesn't seem like I'll be looking for her tonight. :lolgoku:

I don't see how a picture of a clown fish with the message
"Have You Seen This Fish???" could not have been the correct play???

I was not expecting "Lmao omg I'm out shopping im splurging [pondering emoticon]"

That's fine I could only take like three Justin Bieber song's before I didn't care how hot she is anyway.

Well I can try to make 1 kitty purrrrr,

I don't like simple and I hate taking parts off, but to appease the gentlemen of the court...

I will TAKE OUT the pule pump fitting,
CLEAN the Teflon tape,
INSERT the plug in the carb adapter,
and TRY this Gravity thing.


Yes or No? If run lean and blow myself to smithereens, I'm holding you personally responsible. lol

Worse case....

Which is worse???

Pump pressure too high > engine too rich and floods?
Not enough fuel in carb > engine runs lean I blow it up?

Lean is worse, immediately. Long term running rich will scrap an engine also.

I'm betting that it will run gravity fed fine though, if anything it will only starve at high RPM.

I hate to say it but some how I think you may have dogged a bullet with Missy. Way too many tattoos for my taste. Sorry for you though. :eek:
