guys,
Not enough bang for the buck or effort. Without going into a two hour dissertation...............Zenoah engines are piston port and therefore don't convert to alky with results worth the trouble. Port timing is too critical and flow is a huge issue without being able to seal the induction cycle. You'd need to fashon a rotor disk or reed cup into the case to seal the induction to make it work. Doesn't matter how hard you squeeze it if there's nothing up there to squeeze.
put gas in it and go to the pond!

Well it seems this conversion may be useless some of you are for it but most seem against it... I can infact get reeds made for this but even so I may still just stick with gas anyway, MXNERD the 20:1 ratio is just what I have been told by an engine builder...Considering the engines will be enclosed under the cowl, I guess I was thinking I could have the engines to run 50-100 Degrees cooler on Methanol and may get a little more bang in the process ,I will run it on Methanol once and see what happens and see what comparison there is to gas if any at all,stay tuned....
Is the comp ratio total swept area or corrected from top of exhaust port ?
