Your going to get a better tuned (slightly leaner) saw. Your going to get just a little bit of more performance too.
Your going to get a longer lasting saw and all of its components.

Gasoline containing ethanol has a tendency to “lean out” the carburetor mixture when compared to gasoline without ethanol.
So to compensate for this you need to be running a little richer while running E10 pump gas.
In essence you are running a little richer because the fuel kind of forces you to.
When I say you are going to get a better tuned (slightly leaner) saw, it means just that. Your getting a true tune, not-compensating for the E10 if the fuel.
If you DO NOT compensate for the lean-ness in the ethanol in the fuel mix, your going to get the problems (running to lean), hence seizure that was mentioned.
I think I'm calling it a night. Why not just carry on friendly. I think were on the same page and you really didn't know it.
Truly I mean no malice here or sarcasm. Were really on the same page here, I'm just supporting it with science and your using experience.
