When we started the Gas/Glow experiments, I tried E-85. Didn't work well at all for me. Some others have tried it with varying levels of success, using on board glow power, etc.
It is the methanol that has a catalytic reaction with the platinum in the glow plug element. E-85 is 85% ethanol. Not the same deal....

Iam simply unable to make the engine idle reliably at anything below about 2500 to 3000 RPM. That is high. Will using an on-board glow help ? It appeared to idle better when I did not remove the igniter after startup. Presumably putting the flywheel back on will help the situation but it would add weight (sigh!).
Iam using a 18x8 Prop.
I am able to get a consistent high end RPMof 7500which is quite nice. for a 25cc engine.
Any other tips on getting a lower idle?
