Sure. How much does a carb kit and some Tygon cost? I only have access to e10, and have yet to have an unexpected carb or line failure.I live in the corn belt I can't get anything but ethanol fuel, ethanol is hard on carb parts and fuel lines
Boy some of these people can be real jerks. All I seen was an honest question. I ran 100llI didn't intend on starting an argument, was just curious if anybody else used it, I'm trying to keep 35+ saws all running and yes some of mine sit for a long time, at which point I drain and run dry those saws. The fuel is actually only 96 octane according to the man at the airport. What I liked it the fact the batches are always the same and consistant I've found from the automotive industry pump gas can be different from batch to batch,and the shelf life is a long long time comparatively, I was looking to see if there was a physical detriment to the equipment over time not if inhaling the exhaust fumes are bad. As I already knew that,i also don't run my stuff everyday like some of you just in the winter months for feeding the stove.
My dad liked what you had to say bird colonel. He said he remembers the saturdays when they headed north to the "drag strip" and all the cops patrolled on the south side hahamaybe i'm silly but i drive about 25 miles out of the way to buy 93 non-alcohol gas for my 2-cycle mix
i don't really have access out here to the 100+ stuff
i like to think that i'm doing the right thing (for the equipment) by not running ethanol through my 2-cycle engines
and maybe i'm too old or just don't give a s**t anymore, but i agree completely with @astnmacgto
the toxins in the air are already killing us, so i would not worry about lead in the gas
and yes i remember (like the mad professor) the days of high compression engines with none of the anti-smog paraphernalia holding them back
and drag races on the two lane state highway in front of our farm house at 2 am
anyway . . . back to the subject
what about the detrimental effects (if any) of leaded gas on the carb and cylinder of a 2-cycle engine?
It ends up being about $1.00 more and varies between 89 and 90 octane at my station in Michigan, they sells it as their premium pump option. It's all I use and have zero issuesI use none ethanol gas.90 octance.they call recreational fuel here in Michigan.
