Well, I got 5 gallons of methanol from a local gas supplier. I mixed it up with some 2 stroke oil. I chose this instead of common castor oils because I know what I bought worked. I ride a Banshee too, and I use Quicksilver two stroke oil. Well, that was a bad idea. The oil won't mix with the methanol entirely. It just seems to seperate. The oil will settle to the bottom of the jug after I shake the crap out of it, and even while I'm shaking it, the oil never really mixes. The oil will seperate into small balls in the methanol. Despite this, I tried running my Savage with the K4.6 in it on the somewhat mixed methanol. By the way, the mix I was goin for was 20% oil. The engine ran, but like crap. Wouldn't idle hardly, could barely get it over something like 5-6000 rpm, just above idle. So the success was limited. Anybody out there got any ideas?
