Other Fuels / Alcohol in smaller engines
« on: August 31, 2006, 08:54:31 PM »
Just wondering here, has anyone ever ran 100% alcohol in a smaller gas engine? In particular, an Onan. I have had this genset for years, and would really like to try it out on "shine".... Its a 1971 4Kw out of an old winnebago. It runs like a top on gasoline, and even 10% ethanol blend, but 100% alcohol, never tried it.
Any suggestions or ideas on what to do to make it run properly? mixture settings, spark advance/retard, power increse/decrease? Getting sick and tired of these damned 200 dollar electric bills, and i cannot afford a listeroid genset right now, (cant afford not to have it either! ) So I would really like to get this unit up and running on alcohol if possible, would really help out on the electric bill!!!!!
