Re: 110 octane fuel

Quick question you ever heard of transmission fluid mixed with gas praying in carb cleaning it cause thats what i used and i useually rev it up alot to clean i guess i need to go buy some carb cleaner

Re: 110 octane fuel

I have used trans fluid in car engine carburetors as a protectant when storing the engine or vehicle for long periods of time. I personally have never heard of using it to clean them though. I would strongly suggest using some good ole carb cleaner. Sometimes it's the littlest things that can cause the most irritating issues.

Re: 110 octane fuel

The trans fluid worked after doing that it run quit and smooth untill next day it started acting up i just need to know about how the timing works if it has a advance when reved up is there a way to advance a little on a 40 ski twinn i really dont know anything when it comes to timing coil and stator its a 71 model does it have points i want to check and clean them

Re: 110 octane fuel

The ONLY way to clean a carb properly is to dials assemble it and go through it. No spray or snake oil mix will do the job for you.
And there is absolutely no way running and mixture of av gas will increase your horsepower. No way, no how. Your running issues are not related to the choice of fuel, rather are likely due to lack of proper servicing on the carb.

Re: 110 octane fuel

I havent used the 110 yet just wondering if anyone has added some to there gas and if it made any differance by all the post seems like it wont make any differance or make my motor run worse so now i have to go try it and see just tring to find someone that used it before

Re: 110 octane fuel

You say no way no how to increase hp with that 110 gas are u positive in a car motor if u run a quater in 11 seconds on regelar gas poor some 110 in and run 10 sec how is that not increasing something now that i have seen just havent in a boat motor outboard

Re: 110 octane fuel

I agree with Scott above here. Forget the snake oils and witch hunts. Get down, service your motor and be done with it. You seem to be spending alot of time trying to get out of maintainance. You could have been on the water days ago. Just my thoughts.

Re: 110 octane fuel

shave the head and block to increase compression, recut the ports to allow quicker gas exchange (thats like a hot cam), Adjust the timing to allow for higher octane then install a nitrous oxide system (nos). Even if you squeezed a extra 30 hp out of the motor it wouldnt make a diffrence unless you can transfer that power to the water

oh i forgot you will also need bigger carb bodys for reduced restiction and over sized jets

Re: 110 octane fuel

I hate to get u guys down on your thoery but the snake fluid worked i had to keep choked to keep it running after using the snake fluid run like a new motor i couldnt make it quit at low rpms as for the witch hunt i would rather use the 110 then use the gas they make now not saying i couldnt get gas without ethonal another question have u tried it the 110 or snake fluid who said nitros im not that dum now u tring to make fun of me if theres a will theres a way

Re: 110 octane fuel

Just wondering put two motors on dyno same motors one with 87 octane witch is really like 85 then other motor has 110. Mixed half witch will bring it to 103 octane that the one with more octane wont respond faster and top ot at higher rpm

It's only been said like 15 times already. HIGHER OCTANE DOESN'T MAKE ANYTHING. It can allow a motor to run more advance and more compression which could create more power, but that motor has to be tuned for that and if it is, it probably won't be happy running lower octane fuel.

Re: 110 octane fuel

Well i hope my motor gets real happy and mellow like drinking some wine yeah its been said 15 times but have they tried it or are they scared of hurting there engine you know i bet they have never even used it in a car just cause the book says it wont help doesnt mean it wont

Re: 110 octane fuel

I will share a little unofficial gasoline test I did a few years back.

It was done with a 4 stroke, 400cc, air cooled ATV. Running a 9.2:1 compression ratio.
I compared 87 octane to 93 octane. Both straight from the pump, same brand,
bought from same station, at same time. ( pre-ethanol days)

I used a GPS, Stop watch, and temp gauge.
Tests were done the same day, with only enough time between to drain and replace gas.
I made multiple runs, and took the average for my results.

Results were interesting.
0 to 20 times were almost a second faster with the 93 than the 87.
0 to 40 times were almost equal.
Top speed was about 3 mph faster with the 87 than the 93.
Engine run about 12 degrees cooler with the 87 than the 93.

My unofficial conclusion:
93 octane produced more low end torque, and more heat, but produced less high rpm power.

Re: 110 octane fuel

Thats interesting to hear it seams like it would be oppisite of that like when u advance your timing it will be loafing at idle but at high rpm run smooth

OK, Sounds like you have it fixed. As long as you can find 110 octane leaded gas you will be all set.

Re: 110 octane fuel

No problem not fixed idles high it will jerk misfire if i go lower idle i think it has to do with electrical when i rev up takes time to smooth out after letting off throttle real fast

The cars that do that are DESIGNED to run on the higher octane juice. Your outboard is not.

Re: 110 octane fuel

My motor is a 71 it may not be desighned for it but will it run better on it i will have to see

Re: 110 octane fuel

:frusty:

You have been told by many smart people their thoughts on using what you're proposing, but still you argue.
Has anybody done it? I'll bet they have, but notice nobody's raving about how great their motor is running on stupid high octane fuel in a forum of thousands of members.

Here's some facts for you that you seem to ignore;
-Your engine is 42 years old, and sounds like it's in need of some service/maintence work.
-Your engine was NEVER designed to use fuel that was a higher octane than what is offered at a regular automotive gas pump.
-A roll of PROPER gasket material is $5 at most auto parts stores, and the parts you need to clean up, and rebuild your fuel system are relatively cheap.
-With all the money your going to spend to feed your motor the magical, mystical super high octane fuel, you could instead spend it on fixing the motor up PROPERLY, and have a good running, reliable motor that runs on 87 octane like all of us.

But apparently you're smarter than all of us, and the engineers at OMC, so why bother posting here?....

Re: 110 octane fuel

I agree with the hard headed part but i only believe a quarter what i hear and half what i see i guess maybe i posted in wrong place
