I noticed one really hot/humid summer day the engine "ran-on" after shut down when fully heat soaked. Did a little checking, timing was spot on, just thought I got some bad gas. It happened again so I questioned my son, and said he'd been filling up the truck and gas cans with 87 octane....yikes!.......Cliff
Good for you Cliff!

You should try some racing fuel. You will get substantially more power with more octane. Give it a try and you will never go back to the cheap stuff. I like the 110 the best. Price doesn't matter, we don't put more than a tank a week in it.
