Hey, Kruzer. No. Even back in the 60s we often recommended unleaded fuel (Amoco "White") because of the lower deposits. Your '67 will run as well on 87 octane regular unleaded as anything.<br /><br />Happy boating.<br />JB
Thanks J.B.<br /><br />After I posted this question, I did some research and found the string regarding octane from a few weeks back which was very informative. You mention 87 octane and some of the others say the highest you can get - you think the 87 octane will be the ticket?<br /><br />Thanks again!
Yes, I do, Kruzer. I still hold that the higher the octane rating the higher the likelyhood of harmful deposits from additives. I've never seen a non-racing 2 stroke that needed high octane to avoid preignition or detonation unless the engine was in trouble with deposits already. <br /><br />For what it's worth, some very experienced wrenches disagree with me.<br /><br />Good luck.<br />JB
