...and i mean alcohol injection you wise-asses. Were haveing a hard time starting the one car. As you know or incase you dint know you can not start an alcohol injected car cold on pure methanol (alcohol) you need a small amount of gas in a seperate tank and a purge pump to pump gas into the cylinders on initial cold start up. If its a hot day and the engine is hot it will fire. Another thing methanol requires is a more powerful spark that can be generated form a conventional starter so you need a pro mag. Now a pro mag needs at least 200RPM to fire, so you need to upgrade to a 24 volt starter to spin the motor faster. Now we did that but are still having trouble firing the car. Has anyone on here had experiance using the new CSR 139 toothflexplate / started system?
