Here I have to contend with 5% Ethanol, & it's a pain in the bum. Timing isn't a big issue, but the BTU's of the fuel is, when I use the 5% Ethanol brew, the choke needs to be pulled out at least an inch to make it idle smoothly. At the moment I'm putting up with a single Stromberg B20A, so pulling out the choke really only perks up the idle mixture. Ideally, one or two HS6 SU's with finely tuned & synced chokes would be the way to go so that you could alter the mixture to suit whatever brew.

E85 = 85% Ethanol right? You aren't going to be quickly swap between 85% & 10% because of the much bigger difference in BTU's.
