Sorry, I can't speak to your specific setup. My advise would be to pick a fuel or combination of fuel and stay with it. I've been out of the ski game for a while now but still browse here because I enjoy the content. I do ,however, have experience in engine tuning and fuels. My post was...

This. RVP in race fuel is all over the place, even within a sealed 5 gallon jug. Spec fuel for a series I tune motorcycles for is VP C-10 which has a RVP 4.02 psi. Testing new, un opened jugs typically results in actual RVP of somewhere between 1.5-2.5. As race fuel loses RVP, or goes...

No idea!

Funny this thread popped up again. I still have this engine, all though I don't have a ski anymore. I've run multiple combinations on this, with last being X-scream 46's, total loss, and a Speedwerks dry pipe in my old vision hull. It's been a fantastic power plant for me. It's been sitting...
