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.

Ops, unleaded just jumped to $2.89 over night so I guess 92 will go up =
20 cents or more on my next fill up. Probably, will send the carbs to =
Joe over the summer to see if he can make them run the engine better. =
