[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 161924, member: 3278"] The engine would limit itself to around 2500RPM for an overheat but you would also have an audible alarm, which you did not mention. Also you may want to try pumping the bulb when the issue occurs to bypass the fuel pump. If you are still running the oil injection then don't pump the bulb for too long as you will only be supplying the engine with fuel, not oil, so just a few pumps to see if the engine responds then stop. Alcohol fuel can make the VRO pumps sticky, meaning they can supply enough fuel for idle and part throttle and not quite enough at WOT. With more information we can offer better suggestions. [/QUOTE]
