[Healeys] Ethanol

[David Nock BCS]

The issues with the Ethanol will depend on the percentage of Ethanol they will be putting in. Here in California most of the Ethanol is 10%. However they are talking about raising that and if they do we will start having real problems.
The most common issues we run into are . Overheating and miss fires under heavy load due to lean mixtures. Especially worse on the Tri Carb.
This can usually be cured by installing the Rich needles.

The other issues are lack of power and lower gas mileage.

It seems that the UK is to be blessed with this stuff. I’ve been asked for my thoughts on the topic and, as I know nothing about it, I’m looking for advice.

See attached.

What are your experiences? And what are the “dos and don’ts”? 

Thanks,

Simon
