Converting gas to alchohol is not possible! Turning lead into gold would be more profitable!
Really though, alchohol is corrosive, and would you would need to have a carburator with parts and seals that are made to be used with this fuel and if you are not using it for racing, I wouldn't bother. You would also have to re-jet because you need about twice as much alchohol as you would gas.

doesn't look like it may be too hard to convert with the carb converter. What other fuels could you use besides high octane gas then to get more power? Thanks for the help witht the catalog, I never even knew that kinda stuff was out there.

You can't just put a bigger engine on it? But check out garden tiller racing. Yeah, seriously. I've seen some run so fast that the tiller had pulled the person off their feet and was pulling them along behind it!
There's a nearby town that has tiller races every year.
