Default RE: gas fuel with glo plug no ignition

Hello Everyone

I tried the gas mix today on a Echo.
I live in a rural area and could not find any of the oils that blend with meth and gas so I purchased some Castrol from the drug store. I mixed 63% gas - 7% Castor- 5% Acetone and 25% meth.
Results: A little rough running and a slight surge, rough idle. Would run at about 3/4 throttle without battery but would not idle witout. The glow adapter I made does have one problem it is resessed about 3/16 " so may be a problem.
I had a carb that I had moified for glow and put it on within ten minutes and ran production glow fuel and was very pleased it ran better than any glow engine I have.
Is the mix I have out of line or what do you think my problem may be.
Best to all Ron
