[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3764660, member: 15054"] I seen an old guy that put a small 2 stroke carb like off a weed eater or chain saw on an Olds 98. It maxed out at 40 or 45 MPH but got 35 MPG. He drove it to a car lot a buddy had quite often to sit around and shoot the breeze like all 80 year old dudes do. He said he never got on the highway and never needed to go fast. I did build a vapor carburetor kind of deal. 25 years ago No sprayed fuel. Jjust sucking the vapor off the fuel in a container that had 2" of fuel in the bottom and a baffle and filter to allow air in. Yes it worked for about 500 yards. Puttered back into the driveway just barely. I opened the vapor fuel can and nothing but milk in it. I had not thought about all the moisture in the air I was passing through the fuel. Milked it right up. If I could keep the moisture out I think it would have worked. I tested it on a Nissan 280ZX [/QUOTE]
