I am wondering if some the issues I am having with starting the zilla is attributed to running av gas in it. I am mixing it 32:1 with Castor 927. It seems to be separating or not mixing completely. I even added some premium to the mix to help it break down better and mix more evenly. My head has been o-ringed and squish set so I have to run a higher octane.
Has anyone mixed race gas with premium and had better results. Any tips/ suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I am taking the bike to get dyno'd down in Oregon in a couple of weeks and would like to have some good fuel to run through it.
Thanks
Drain about a quart of fuel into a clean jar. Shake it up very well. If the fuel is crystal clear your fuel and oil are mixed at a molecular level. If the fuel is cloudy your fuel and oil are not mixed and will not mix until the temperature of the fuel is raised or the chemistry of the fuel is changed to one that is a good solvent for the type of oil you are using.
Cloudy fuel should not be run even after shaking. DO NOT TRY TO TUNE A CARB ON CLOUDY FUEL.
Cloudy fuel will turn crystal clear after the oil settles to the bottom of jar, fuel tank or float bowl. When it settles in the float bowl, the engine will try to run on pure oil. This may be why you have to keep kicking until you have consumed enough of the oil off of the bottom of the float bowl before the engine can get enough fuel to start.
