A few doubters persist who seem to think Bordes can be run successfully on alcohol. Sheesh.
Okay - let's examine that. If your Borde is *broken* as I describe in this video... then, you may possibly be able to use alcohol as fuel. But, of course, your Borde will be broken and unable to properly burn the fuel for which it was intended. And, it probably isn't worth all that much, either.
So! Got a Borde that runs good on alcohol but not on white gas (Coleman fuel)? Bet it's broken. (Sorry to hear.) Show us a video of your spindle!
