Location: Hayward, WI | I used to run the regular gas with ethanol in it. Ran fine all season, but the two times I stored over winter with (treated) ethanol gas I had my carbs get plugged and the motor not run well the next spring. I switched to etanol free gas (regular without it, or premium without it, depending on the gas station) and have had no issues since.
I run a 50 40 stroke, and the difference in price of buying ethanol free gas is very little, so I just run it all year.
I do think if you fish a lot you'd be okay buying ethanol gas if burning it up fast, and then switching to ethanol free for the last couple tanks of the year before storage. |
