Are you guys having issues with the gelling running the M-2 by chance? I always heard the top lube that VP puts in that stuff is crap. Everyone around here swears by the Klotz. I know that dominator had fuel in it that was full of the Klotz and it didn't gel up over the winter. I heard about the stuff from an engine builder that was having carbs done by an old circle track racer who has been building alky carbs for about thirty years. They like the Kl-100 that has the castor bean oil in it, but the rep told me the Uplon burns a little cleaner, that's what we've been using.
Doesn't matter what upper lube it is,, it all will gel at some point..Klotz is no different, as most teams for the World of Outlaw Sprints,ASCS,All-Stars would run Klotz not all but some did,, i would remember seeing these guys having to blow the stack injection and down nozzles out after a heat or main race as the fuel would cause the intakes or around the head where the down nozzles went in frost over and start to gel up bad!!
I remember talking with Karl Kinsler and Earl Gearte about this one evening at Eldora and it was cause from the amount of alcohol being used or burned and flowing threw the nozzles or down the injection mainfolds that would do this..
Anyone who has or is running alcohol will know this,,, as what happens or how long can you hold your hand in an open container of race alky.??? If no one has tried it,,pretty fun game to bet your buddies with to see who will last the longest.. :mrgreen:
