The E85 will drop incoming air temp thru the manifold up to an extra 15 degrees over gasoline at a 50/50 mix with 87 octane, will also raise the octane of the pump gas, and at the same time dillute the octane rating of the E85,, making it easier to burn. On most Ive converted over, the stock air cleaner is still intact. The line comming out the back of the head,,, that hooks up into the breather,, eventually, engine temps rise and this air becomes warmer and help warm up the incoming air tempurature. They still Iced up a little when they first start up,,, My M is bad about it but once its warmed up, cant ask for a better running M!! If the carb is right,, the mix is right,, they run good, if not better. Never had carb trouble out of properly maintained book spec storage proceedure was followed. Even with the rubber tipped needle valves. Most eninges need to retard the timing to help,, a few degrees, depending on your tractor,,, Throw book spec timing specs out the window,,, well, not out the window, just close the book and set it in a safe place,,, LOL!
