I get the impression that christ is being sarcastic, Basslover I would recommend that you look into ECR (Exhasut Gas Recirculation) there are limits before you get to unstable combustion

Typically when an engine is run lean, more ignition advance will help, higher power ignition such as a CDI system will help too.

There is a limit when a cylinder will not have enough fuel to "fire", but a good strong spark may help that.

keep at it and report back with what does and doesn't work.
I'm not sure where you got that impression from, but I'm not being sarcastic at all... I'm the guy that's trying to convert small lawnmower engines to run on diesel type fuels. I just don't document it here. (I have a Lil' Fat Boy notebook in my back pocket all day.)

Oh - Christ is Capitalized. It's Christ.
