Default Ryobi Four Stroke on Glow

I've got a 26cc Ryobi four stroke, and was wondering if it would be possible to run it purely on methanol. Since it has its own sump, it wouldn't need oil in the mixture, and a glow plug would allow it to run without an ignition, thereby either eliminating the weight of a magneto, or the cost and complexity of electronic ignition. Bulk methanol is not very expensive either... Any thoughts? How would it compare in consumption and power to gasoline?
