Another nozzle idea Superfine Misting Nozzle (5 Pack) The lowest flow size, even at 40 psi, flows more than I think a V-twin Industrial needs.

Parsing some of the automotive sites, they suggest water/methanol ratios around 15% of fuel flow, up to 25% , for NA engines. This is to effectively boost octane to allow more advance and compression. I'll have to do some math, but let's say fuel flow for 40 hp is 2 gph. 6-8 ounces per hour of...

...has been suggested for cooling at high power levels. Have you done it? How would you do it? I have my thoughts, after researching it a bit, but I'm wonder what the GroupMind thinks.

Ace Aviation is probably well-known to readers of this forum, Lone Star Hovercraft perhaps less so. http://lonestarhovercraft.com/reduction-drives/ Roughly $200 more than their South Asian competition. I see nothing to choose from between them. Neither of them have a torsionally soft element...
