What would happen if you set it up for a speed somewhat beyond what you actually wanted it to provide? Think that would balance things out?

Yes.

The Network we resell on doesn't actually sell any services directly to the public.

Actually we have tried that, but it still isn't balancing out.

There's someone over in the 4th gen non-tech section arguing about how good ethanol is.

He doesn't know what he is talking about. Get over there and share your opinion.

Well lets hope I don't get burned lol...


I work on engines everyday that have been damaged by ethanol.

That thread has 235 some views, it's obvious more people are viewing it and not replying, I just couldn't help but reply to such ignorance.

You're absolutely right in your post Tech, i've seen plenty of motors damaged by Ethanol. When I used to work at my local hardware store, management mandated if we sold something with a small motor we had to tell the customer to run ethanol free or warranty would be void. Besides even the butt-o-meter can feel a difference with ethanol blend and ethanol free gas, or at least I definitely can. Might just be me though

No it's not just you, non-ethanol blended gas does have more power for less heat.

One day I took my testing engine, a 6HP Briggs push mower.
I put 100% ethanol in a dry fuel system, and ran it on a literal 100* ambient temperature day, no wind.

The engine got so hot it boiled the whole tank away, you could see the steam rising. I changed the oil, stank terrible. I drained the fuel system of what little ethanol was left, put 87 octane ethanol free gas, engine ran fine the rest of the day. I did have to put a new crank in it though to pay for testing It got too hot and bent easy because of that.

Using some Star Tron or Stabil Marine Formula when filling up, will all but eliminate any of these concerns regarding ethanol on our magnum motors.
