I can take that one easily. It takes me a long time to push my trikes that far.

**LonesomeTriZ** · 10-26-2006, 03:33 PM

Yeah, we had a string of real dab luck on the way up there. We did not make it past Tennessee. I am hoping to be at my duty station before the up comeing Trike Fest. If so, we will be there with the fleet.

**Bryan Raffa** · 11-22-2006, 08:03 AM

never ran it before jason and im gonna find out, from what i hear.. once it's dialed in look out!!! The pain is gettin it just right!

I hear that If you don't run the engine on gas after the Alky It eats up all the metal parts. You have to run gas through the carb & If you have a aluminum or steel tank you can't leave It In there. I just pulled a 370 stroker 250-R apart & the cylinder was pitted real bad from the after affect's of the alcohol. It's like a 10Hp Increase though. So as long as you purge It out thats the ticket. Should be some good racin, all we need Is a little traction.

from what i heard ya have to run a little gas to lube everything up then run the alky then when your all done ya have to drain the alky and flush with gas so that dont happen, My tank is plastic so i can leave it in there but I'll have to get motion pro portable auxiliary tank for flushing, there like $55.00
Ya it sounds like a hassel but this bike is just for drag raceing and its all about going fast!
