RE: torco fuel
typically you go richer as it gets colder but methanol gets to a point where it just wont burn. Experience with blown alcohol funny cars has shown when this threshold is reached the mixture needs leaning to build heat (lots of pounded upper bearings before figuring that out). crank case induction glow engines already have a problem with "crankcase loading" from vaporizing methanol and may not respond to "leaning". I remembersomeone suggesting to warm the fuel (hard fuel line coiled around exhaust pipe) which has merit
