Any problems using regular gas with 10 percent ethanol in a 8n?

No - but make sure it gets used on a timely basis.

thanks, I wondered if it might be hard on the carb needle & seat.

I run it in all of mine with no trouble. No additives needed either.
As TOH said, shelf life is not long so use it up regularly.

Unfortunately all I can get in eastern MO is 10% etoh gas. I've been using it in a several Fords for over ten years with no problems but I do put stabilizer in it.

Good point. I do use stabilizer in mine, specially for winter storage.
What I meant by not needing additives were lead substitutes, etc.

It will turn the float green but wont bother the needle and seat.Watch out for methanol base dry gas.It will attack zinc metals and brass.A lot of dry gas is still being used even though its not needed with ethanol gas.Most magic stabilizers are naptha.Lead substitutes are diesel fuel.
