When I gave up the modified alky burners and went to stock Yamaha classes, the only fuel that went thu those motors was AV gas. From 1988 thru 2002 nothing but, unless there was a spec fuel required at a race.
Everything gas powered either dinosaur chainsaws, ATV,s weedeaters, lawnmowers, Austin Healeys, Model A, Gopeds Mopeds. you get the picture runs nothing but AV gas now. It is the fix all for that bad gas. No more carburetor problems. I would have needed to rejet the ATV's and massage all of the lawn equipment to get 10% alcohol to run decently. My 3000 hates that stuff, not to mention it destroys all of the internal components in the SU carbs.
Terry - Agree on the pump gas problems, learned my lesson several years ago. I've been able to get 90 octane ETHANOL FREE and have had good results. How much is the AV gas where you are?
