Sorry Marty, I have never tried to tune one of those. Should have kept quiet. :-)

He's probably in his laboratory making his own "special" fuel.

Look for the fuel with the fastest burn rate or lowest flash point.

That's good advice. I don't have a clue how much timing that engine would want. Old as I am, I never tried to tune one of those for racing. Not the best looking combustion chambers I ever saw. I wouldn't have a clue where to start. I wouldn't expect a lot of swirl, so it may like a lot.
