Fuel consumption will increase as well. Higher ethanol content increases water contamination issues in your fuel system. People I know that race with it drain their fuel system after a race and put good fuel in to let it sit.

Have you advanced the timing?
Alcohol loves the extra timing.
Try advancing the timing 6-8º or so.
That would help the 'bog' also.

Pick up an external linkage kit.
You have more primary throttle blade articulation before pulling secondary side open.
Hope you still have ' Turbo Louie"

Oh i see what you mean now. What size are yours? I assume yours is sized for e85?

How did you get that apart like that ? Not sure if mine comes apart. I tried pinning mine back when i converted but i don't remember the size of them . I think i made a area calculation in comparison to the .182 pin size and it was close . But i cant remember. Its hard to pin them when there all together ..

Charlie66, Read this, https://www.horsepowerinnovations.co...nd-conversions

Booster big hole is about 1/2 inch with 12 smaller holes inside ( don't know sizes )

PVCR is big difference between ours

I believe yes on exposed .078 transition slot

Might want to buy E85 conversion blocks

I believe it's hard to flood with E85, Give bigger jets and squirters/cams a try.

I've raced with E85 for 20 years with purposed built carbs, saved a ton of money, go 8.90 NA, 8.60 with 100 shot for3- 4 sec. Good Luck with your 1050. Rich

Sorry, Louie was awesome!

With external linkage you have the ability to do progressive thru 1:1 easily.
I have seen where 1:1 can produce a huge lean condition.

Thanks Jeff.

Yeah i understand how it makes it lean. Im just trying to keep it 1:1 if i can. I feel like i barley got it to work with gas . Took a lot of trial an error ..

I was thinking of closing down the front a bit and try to open up the back blades some for some more range in the slot (Or maybe lower the slot) . It seems like these dominators like being closed in the back more then the front . I say this because anytime i square up the blades to slots like the front it runs up the idle really high. So if i close up the front some i can open up the back more . Its just a thought...

I SIZED MINE FOR MY 1250, I think stock 12 hole is 0.52? They need to be bigger then that for E85. They just press out, u can make a simple tool to get them out with banjos still installed in venturi

.078 isn't the length its the size of the restrictor that feeds the slot

Do they get pressed out form the bottom or the top? So in other words , Turn the carb over and go through the throttle blades to press out ?
