Stinging Nettle Biofuel for Victory! 1979 AMF Harley-Davidson XLH1000 Ironhead Sportster

Ethanol/gasoline mixes can gum up your carb if it's left standing for too long; I always empty mine when I know I'm going to be wrenching a while.

I always shut off the fuel and let the motor run out of gas if I'm not going to run the bike for a while.

That'll do it, right enough. I live in a terraced house (I think they're called row houses in the US) so it would depend on how late at night we're doing this.

What is the Scoville to Octane conversion again? I'm sure they aren't actually spicy, but nothing else seems appropriate for Nettle juice 🥵🤣

Nettles are rated by how long you still hurt after getting stung. The ones in the alley behind my house are rated 2 hours, giving roughly 3 horsepower per hundredweight.
