Greg,

No doubt four strokes are a different animal. But how about this. Send me a PM and I'll fire off some OliveLube for you to try.

There are NO technical problems that cannot be overcome with persistence and some imagination, I think. [>:] Like putting a man on the moon. [X(] And it doesn't hurt to have help from the good folks on this forum.

I'm somewhat familiar with the CVEC concept but for the moment, I don't see how it relates. I believe that it was some kind of effective muffling using a spring loaded baffle. Will look it up.

But something new has surfaced. Last night I came across a test for determining if you had a good BioFuel. You add oil to methanol in a one to ten ratio and if all the oil dissolves, you're good to go. If there's any settling at all, you need to reprocess the fuel. Well I did the test to the three BioFuels that I ran yesterday. The better running CORN Fuel was the worst one of the three, the poorer running canola/soy tested best and the middler, the sunflower, tested in the middle. Well, what the,,,, Don't know what to make of that except that the poorer running better testing fuel, the canola/soy, was done with a slightly altered process. That process initially looked bad but in the end, produced a very clear fuel, eventually. So I'm going to repeat that process with the corn and the sunflower oil to see what that gives us. Plus, after reading that Otto Diesel had originally designed hos engine to run on peanut oil, well that's also being brewed right now.

Pouring rain right now, time for more shop work.
