I experimented with an Enya 60X using 80/20 all castor fuel and gradually raised the compression from the standard 9.75:1 .....edit......to the 13.5 as the final optimum compression. .....edit ............ this gave me a 22% increase in HP ....
Excellent info and a lot cheaper than 10% nitro to get the same results
downunder you seem to be really up to speed with all the guru of this no nitro solutions so please keep the info flowing
Thanks
How was starting and tuning with the higher C/R?? or if there were issues as C/R increased did they kick in incrementally or did they arrive abruptly at certain C/R like 12 :1 or similar or were there no issues ??
Using the same methods this might return back sufficient lost power using E85 or Ethanol to make it more interesting to do !
I have a very rarely used pre 1990 Super Tiger 4cc 25 that needs experimenting on as it seems only to know one speed WOT
and its cheaper than experimenting first on my bigger engines which eat fuel fast
To raise the C/R do you machine down the head or do you do it buy hand carefully as I don't have access to Lathe or similar and can only remove shims or do manual changes
Later if experiments pan out well instead to get new MVVS 45cc gasoline version I could get the Glow version and make a FLEXY FUEL version before putting it into a 1800mm CAP and hopefully get power outputs like a 80cc gasser
