I have had trouble getting my BJ8 SU HD8 carbs to operate properly since =
taking them off during the engine rebuild. The engine would just not =
idle properly at 1000 rpm (never could get it lower and maybe the tack =
is off) I am using color tune to get the mixture right without success. =
My good friend George suggested Premium 92 Octane Non-ethanol fuel, so =
I bought a tank full and just tweaked the fuel mixture one turn rich and =
went for a drive. Seemed to like something I did. One tank later, the =
engine is idling better, and the engine response is better. I thought =
$3.34 per US Gallon was very high compared to $2.69 here in south =
Florida. Nevertheless, will continue to use as the engine seems to like =
it. Yes, we have some of the lowest prices in the state of Florida =
thanks to Gulf Coast Refineries and delivery via barges. Note there are =
no refineries in Florida.
