According to the "experts" my power commander would not be able to supply enough fuel to keep it from running way lean and even if it did run a proper mixture the combustion chamber pressures without head, piston and lower end work would probably smoke my motor.
I have a gallon of very expensive fuel now and the storage life on nitro methane is very short. Time for a Jim to think this over. Perhaps a bomb??

He used to mix the fuel and oil at 32.5:1.
He assured me this was the perfect mix. I laughed and spent the days watching him have to rev the crap out of it everytime we stopped coz it was fowling up.
Oh and it had gold valves, so it handled like no other apparently

A boat motor is not quite as stressed out as a 250 bike 2 stroke but they do sit on 6,000rpm for hours non stop. Again I have been out of that game for years so the ratio's have probably all changed

I had a 4hp mercury on an inflatable boat. It had a 100:1 sticker on it from factory.
We ran it in on 50:1. Then went to 100:1
Not much oil in there!
