I was running 8% oil and balance methanol in the FS-52. I'll be trying gasoline and E85 as soon as it warms up a bit around here. I will be making a velocity stack for it. I don't think mine will idle at 2k. Actually, it will, but I can't tune for a good transition.
Wow I'm surprised you're getting away with that small an oil content. Actually, I'm surprised that you tried it at that percentage. Did you just sort of work it down?

No, I didn't work my way down. I knew it would work. 5% was mentioned in Peter Chinn's four stroke book. I'm going to go even lower this year, but only with four strokes.
Uh, I should have done the math.
8% is a higher percentage than the 16:1 mix I used in the Saito 1.50. BTW, I went down to Schertz and picked up some E-85 fuel. I need to pick up some Klotz oil to mix it up. Going to try it in a ST 3000 on ignition I have going into a Lanier Extra 300L ARF that I've had sitting around NIB for 5 years or more. Putting it together now.
Seems I read somewhere that some guys are mixing it with more gas or with glow fuel.
