oh really??????In the days before ethanol and MTBE I was doing a lot of motorcycle rebuilds and restorations. I cleaned the gum and deposits out of a lot of carbs that had fuel sitting in them. It's not ethanol that causes that.
I worked for my Dad from 72 to about 86. All he used in his trucks and saws was Amoco High test no lead. It was called white gas back then. When he retired and I kept most of his saws, I started using Stihl Ultra and regular no lead. I still use his 100CC Homelite Super 1050 and I can't tell any difference. For 45+ years that has been my absolute favorite saw. I have a few of his smaller saws still and if I take the time to fiddle with them they run just like they did way back when. If I had a time machine and could run one as it was new, set it down, and run it as it is now, I may tell a difference. But, if I pick it up and it does the job, I'm happy.I realize all the issues with the ethanol gas. Back in the day when gas was leaded did it seem to improve, hinder or make no change in performance or parts life?
Most of my life everyone I knew used gas to wash their hands. Not so much anymore. Is it proven its bad for you? What does it cause, neurological problems?I noticed that when I used gas to get the grease off of my hands,
it made me stupider.
Or is it "more stupid"??
So all this talk about premium grade gas is bunk?McCulloch recommended low lead or no lead and low octane gasoline.
