hey guys. I just stumbled in here and found this thread. I have converted a 45 gas to glow and it runs great (better than it ever did on gas). I'm just using straight methanol and synthetic oil in a 20% 80% mix. works a treat. I'm going to cut the oil back to about 16% and give that a try.
Heres a little video that some of you may have seen.

No Nitro at all (it will stuff your carby diaphragm and valve plate) and only opened the needles about half a turn more than they required for gas. No other carby mods required.
