Pistons have not arrived. Have not been shipped even. Manufacturing delays.
In reverse order this time ^^,
Frank yeah. We as a populace are not ready for something so high maintenance.
Merc, I've looked at it but I am partially considering a new option.
Update.
With the throttle plate back in place I should be able to get it to any cruising speed and then gradually lean it out to the limit of ignition. This is quite a bit higher than what alot of people are suggesting. If you watch an engine as it runs out of fuel and its got a wideband sensor it will show you the AFR goes well and above 20:1. As your lines reach the point its injecting mostly atomized gas(running on fumes) it will run for a few seconds(it runs out of vapor fuel). The trick is making sure the fuel atomizes as much as possible and you get plenty of air. In low O2 environments fuel won't burn. period. So if the chamber has too little o2 overall it can't overcome the inert nitrogen even if the mixture is 14.7-10:1. Just won't happen. the trick is making sure the isoctanyl is paired up with plenty of o2 molecules close at hand. If you have alot more air in the cylinder overall(it WONT situation you have alot more molecules than in lean burn with a TP) you have more o2 molescules close to each drop of fuel, more nitrogens yes but the nitrogen only acts as barrier under lower o2 levels and non compression. More air means higher ignition probability.
The other road that is available. . is to flow a compound that is much more ignition friendly than gas. This would simply ensure ignition every spark. Much more complicated system but there it is.
