Good or Bad? I know it has lead in it but it shouldn't matter in a 2-strokes?

 

Aviation fuel is a poor choice for any motorcycle engine. It is specifically designed to run in aircraft engines. These engines run at constant RPM's at high elevations. It has lots of additives put in it to meet the unique demands of aircraft engines.

 

Run Cam II 110 octane, I run it in my DS. It has a little lead in it which is good for cooling.

 

AV gas doesnt start to work effieciently until it reaches higher elevations (3500ft I think) You are better off running a race fuel like VP

 

THAT'S WHAT I RUN IN MY BANSHEE. BESIDES, IT COST $20.00 FOR FIVE GALLONS AND THATS TOO DANG EXPENSIVE SO I'M GONNA GO TO HIGHER OCTAIN FUEL INSTEAD OF THIS HIGH COSTING STUFF. BUT IT MAKES A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE AND MAKES IT EXTREAMLY HARD FOR ME TO HANDLE CONSIDERING I ONLY WEIGH 120.

 

I've always ran a V.P or racing gas out of the pump in my Banschee and my Blasters. Before I rebuilt my Blaster I ran Nitro and Methanol. Wow whatv a power increase. When we pulled it apart you could see where the nitro just scorched the cylinder wall.

 

I'm not disagreeing with anyone here but if you could run Air plane fuel in an atv and it's max. efficieny was at higher elevations--Just jet the atv leaner!

 

Kingraptor:

FYI: You can get fresh Sunoco Purple, 111 Leaded Octane, Race Gas at the Turbo RX / Goodyear dealer located at Chandler Blvd. and Kyrene Rd. (phone: 480-893-7722).

It is $4.75 a gallon, but the cost can be reduced significantly by mixing with pump gas. I live real close to both so I prefer to go with the higher octane fuel with lead. Personal preference only!

 

I dont think jetting leaner would work correctly, If I remember correctly AV fuel has a different density than gas, this is why it does not run properly at low alt.. As you increase in elevation the fuel thins out and starts to work more effeicently. Thus jetting lean would allow you to only use a portion of the available power and then when you hit given alt. the bike would lean out excessivly and probably melt down. I am not posative that this is the exact way that it works, as it has been awhile since I looked into running AV gas, I just remember that it is not all that good to run it.
