I'm not sure if this applicable, only running gasoline. I'll check my bottle to see if alky is suitable.
I have been using Burris (Synthetic and Castor) with pump gas (gasohol, various octane grades) and 110 octane race gas over the years for my IAME Earykart (125cc TaG air-cooled) and sister engine IAME Leopard '07 (125cc TaG liquid-cooled). These are 18,000 rpm capable engines, however, I spin them up to mid 15 to low 16,000. I also run the same fuel in a 125cc Honda Moto Shifter kart (low 12000 rpm).
I have transistioned to just running synthetic for the reason you stated for your change. I have not taken apart the Leopard to evaluate carbon buildup.
And, to keep to the vintage kart theme, a Burris 1985 ad of the same branded oil along with present day packaging.
