Carb Heat Soak

What I don't get, is your aversion towards alcoholized gas, when it clearly is a winning recipe, when you work within it's limits. Sooner or later it's gonna be all you can get, so you might as well tune for it now.

It depends where you live. Filling stations selling E-0 are all around me here on the southern shore of Lake Ontario. There are more now than anytime in the last 15+ years, with more stations taking it on all the time. Many have dedicated systems with separate tanks, plumbing, pumps and hoses. Before this, I used Stabil Marine.

It's a fact that ethanol gas can make a mess out of a carburetor. It's happened to me on outdoor power equipment and it ruined beyond repair a rare carb on my brother in law's Corvette. So if there are alternatives, why mess with it?
