But...but...but The govmnt says it’s good for you!
Think it’s bad on cars, you should see the damage to small engines. We sell/service Stihl and Toro equip. That crap is EATING the innards of the machines.
Don’t even get me started on what it’s doing to outboards.
I have been lucky so far. A whole storage unit full of 80s motorcycles, two 80s trucks, and a 1963 outboard. No problems to report yet. I have removed float bowls on most to look for stains or accumulation but have found none. It may be that my distributor is mixing ethanol at the minimum 2% required by state law. Others say they do have the full 10%. I use Stabil also which would be expected to help. If I start to see any problem I am going to switch to 100LL for the bikes and outboard but that will be expensive. Hopefully manufacturers will come out with retrofit kits for some of the popular older carbs such as the Walbro in my Elgin.
