Well, using E85 in a glow engine seems to have varying results for folks.
Some cant run it without keeping the plug "lit",
but last fall I ran a new TT GS40 on E85 + 16% walmart castor.
I only got to play with like 3 runs with it before packing it up for the winter, and now I got soem Kart castor and want to get back to experimenting to figure out what how to run it good... like how to set the carb (like NOT using WOT, best run was at 70% throttle)

I was hoping to dilute down the gas content of the E85 with some glow,
which would also help with the 'glow' catalyst ignition situation.

sheesh,
I'm trying to drop the gas content
and the station might be increasing the gas content twofold[:@]
