Rabbit Trail.
As the manual mentioned on page 19 of the thread, compression ratio is 10:1. I read the octane post the other day, does that mean the linhai needs higher than 87 for optimum performance? Anyone have the compression ratio for the helix?
Thanks,
Boris

I posted a picture of the Helix specs on page 18. It is 10:1 also.

Gave it a try with 87 the other day...  did not run well. It hasnt been running well for a bit, really rich, but this definitely made it worse. Here in Utah the fueling stations only offer 85, 87, 89, and 91. I wouldnt have gone for 85, but might try a small amount of 89 to see what it does sometime; will probably stick with 91 from now on though. Boris |
