Default RE: percolating engine

I mixed up some methanol and 20% castor oil back in the 60's. That stuff ran real ragged in the engine. Started fine, had a little less power but sounded rough. I thought maybe there was too much water in the methanol?

Needless to say I didn't follow that venture any farther
