Yes, it can run on it. But you use alot more of it,,, Not a real cost saving option, since they wanna jack the price up too,,, but yeah,, it will run on it. You wont be completly away from oil,, but will drop the amount of it you use in your machine. Gotta mix it in with gas so it will run smoother,, running it straight,,,, HAHAHA!! That ol 706 would sound like a top fuel draggster at idle!!! I know!! Thats what my 460 puller drinks up everytime it pulls!! Darn thing gets thirsty!! I think it has a drinking problem,,,, But yeah,, they run on it. Not hard to do,,, consider it more of a conversion,, like going from gas to LP,,, Few things to consider on doing this,,, run a compression test, that reading will determine how much ethanol you can mix in with gas so it will run smoothly and not drop power. Other than that, its all done to the bowl of the carburator. Drill the jet, and the bottom two holes of the metering stem till you can back the adjuster screw out and make it run rich, from too much fuel. Need to retard the timing more on ethanol,,, its a cold fuel, and needs time to get the fires lit, not like race fuel, or pump gas that fires quickly,,, Once the jet is big enough, you can probably put back in the electronic shut off,,, but make sure its adjusted so it dont lean it out when its in run,,,, Best fire up the still,,,, that 706 will get thirsty on this stuff!!!!! Oh, yeah, the octane value is higher than 10 dollar a gallon racing fuel, but,, dont tell them that,,,, Hope ths helps,,, Need to know how much compression, that can tell how much to mix in with your pump gas. But yeah,,, it will run on it.
