Start with a mixture similar to gasoline which is 14 parts air to 1 part gas (roughly) and then if you have adjustments on your mixer(carb) adjust for a richer mixture (less air-more alcohol) as alcohol provides some of its'own oxygen during combustion, I believe. Be prepared for a lesser power output as alcohol has fewer BTU's per pound of fuel than comparable fuels.
