Very true. Ethanol has been wreaking havoc in small engines, especially 2 strokes. You should have seen the carburator on my snowblower last fall. U.G.L.Y.
I was having some probs with my snowmobile this winter. It was running real rough in the midrange, and that was after I took apart and cleaned my carbs. I added some Iso-Heet to the gas, and that cleared it up. I suspected that it had something to do with the ethanol. I will most definately be running at least a small amount of Iso in my PWC this summer.
