Default gas engine + nitro???

i was just wondering if u can mix or run nitro in a gas engine....
specifically a 2 stroke, echo, 22.8cc engine.
i have about 3/4 of a gallon of 30% racing nitro and dont want it to go to waste, but if i have to i guess i can just burn it.
the flame look real cool.

THNX for the replies...

The engine would probably run erratic and the engines idle and power would be all screwy. Then again it could work. It may not even have a difference.

but I would only add in a very small amount and see how the engine responds, if nothing happens, add alittle more and then see what happens then.

Is the nitro your using, just normal glow fuel (like with methonol and oil mixed with it) or is it just straight nitro?

If you've got fixed jets in the carb it'll run sooooooo lean the engine will probably melt

I once disposed of a half can, about a half pint, of Fox Missle Mist by pouring it into the gas tank of my motorcycle. About the only difference I noticed was a faint smell of castor in the exhaust.
