Per your comments awhile ago, back when I switched carbs on a BS V twin per your recommendation, I have been using such in my small engines and have realized improvements worth the extra cost.
I know that premium is designed for high compression engines, to prevent pre-ignition, but aren't they made up of more of the volatile compounds which are what makes for the price increase? With that said and considering you have a fuel with this percent and that percent of these additives, and fuel evaporates over time, and the volatile go first leaving the base product which is what gums up the works, wouldn't one think that premium would stay "good" longer in addition to starting and running benefits. ---------------------- On the BS additive, first of all you have to ask yourself: If there wasn't a bonafide fuel problem, why would BS come up with their own version? Second of all, since they are the engine mfgrs, seems they would know at least as good as anybody which mix of what makes for the best engine performance over time. Based on that I added it to my collection of "snake oils". So, my current fuel supply is premium fuel with some BS and some Sea Foam, and some StaBil Storage. Oh and per the comment one of the posters on the side mentioned, I installed shut off valves on all my engines that sit over the winter to drain the carbs when the season ends. We'll see how it goes.

On hard starting, check the compression. Some of these little 2 strokers only have 1 piston ring and alum. cylinders, and others only 2 rings with alum cylinders. I reworked a couple last year with problems and checking the compression as a prelude to the repair I found I had about 90 psig on both engines. My Mercury 2 stroke OB service manual said that if I had less than 120 psig, expect problems. Well if my OB engine is of the same basic design as the little 2 strokers so what's good for the gander must also be good for the goose.

Today's Featured Article - Field Modifications (Sins of the Farmer) - by Staff. Picture a new Chevrolet driving down the street without it's grill, right fender and trunk lid. Imagine a crude hole made in the hood to accommodate a new taller air cleaner, the fender wells cut away to make way for larger tires, and half of a sliding glass door used to replace the windshield. Top that off with an old set of '36 Ford headlight shells bolted to the hood. Pretty unlikely for a car... but for a tractor, this is pretty normal. It seems that more often than not they a
