RE: Home Made Fuel %?
Hi there.
There shouldn’t be any need to use acetone in the fuel. The reason why somebody uses acetone (max. 3%) is when they don't use nitromethan. The acetone should give a better idle and transition IF you don’t already use nitrmethan.
What does the manual says about oil %?

What oil will you use?
