I was wondering would mixing alcohol and gasoline help with power. Would I have to reset the carburetor?

Just run E85, but there are no benefits besides being able to run higher compression.

Alcohol burns cooler than gasoline but requires more of it to equal the equivalent power of gas.

You will have to rejet the machine to be much richer.

Typically on E85 you use about 30% more fuel than you do running gasoline.
