Yet AGAIN more W2 360 talk



Yep, I’m one of them that won’t use alcohol again. It’s not worth it.

The reason most go faster on alcohol is exactly what you say. The tune up window is much, much wider.

You can be so far to fat side of best torque that it’s silly and still make power. That’s it’s only saving grace.

Gasoline will make as much power, but you can’t just think your tune up is close.

As far as cooling goes, get a properly sized radiator and get the cooling system in shape. And the cooling issue goes away.

Small tube, small core radiators to save space and weight, slow turning water pumps and poorly designed shrouds won’t cool a Briggs and Stratton, let alone an engine making power.

You have to think and build in terms of the system.

And, since you have to burn 2.3-2.5 times as much alcohol as gasoline what do you actually save?? Not enough to make it worth the effort.

The only exception for me is a blown application. Then I use alcohol, because blown gas is just horrible to tune.
