Re: 'Blueprinting' a Jetex Carb
Fuel,correct me if i'm wrong, 1-unleaded burns hotter than the old 4 star, (googled it) 2-you need alot more heat to burn oil (2 stroke oil is oil) chuck some on a fire or poor some on the ground and chuck a match in it and see if it burns straight away. 3-you get less miles to the gallon on unleade...
