I guess I cant believe all I read or hear about ethanol then...your lucky if your lawn mowers dont suffer from ethanol gas use--maybe you use them more often and run them out of fuel before storing them--its mostly when gas is left sitting more than a month it turns sour and gums up things and hardens diaphrams up...it also seems to attract water out of the air and rusts tanks up faster than "old" school gas too...
Here we now have 15% ethanol,used to be 10%,and I swear nothing with a carb has run "right" or as well as it did on gas made before they mandated oxogenated fuels here around 1990..it seems hit or miss as far as ethanol content--more than once I fill my gas can and my lawn tractor wants to stall,die after it gets hot,or lack power--other times when I get fresh fuel it'll run perfectly,and I see no traces of water or other gunk in the fuel tank or filter...its like it had 25% or higher concentration of ethanol in some batches of fuel..
We have no ethanol free gas available here,and most small airports wont sell you gas unless your filling up a plane thats stored at their facility here any more either--I used to sneak a tank or two into my 69 GTO years ago when they weren't so anal at the small airport nearby..
