The main reason for this project is to develope the ignition system, the gas conversion would be secondary. I would imagine that they would want to do both conversions.

You would still have the option of retaining glow fuel if you liked.

BTW: the E85 experiment is making some progress. I only lost 200 RPM over glow fuel on glow ignition in the FA 150. 7500 RPM W/a Dynathrust 18X8 prop. Lowest reliabale idle was 1400 RPM, the same as glow fuel/sprk, 300 RPM lower than glow ignition.

I found that I could advamce the ignition timing to > 35* BTDC W/E85 & the RPM picked up 300 RPM over the standard 28* BTDC setting.

The carb adjsutments were very touchy & required fiddling w/even slight changes in conditions. Making a more gradual taper on the main needle & installing a demand type regulator should help.

Over all, it seems to be a viable alternative W/less HP loss over gasoline/petrol.
