A year or two ago you put me onto the right carburetor for my BS V twins. You also suggested I use only premium fuel. It's proven to be well worth the extra price. It has that little extra whoopie to get "might start" engines going. Recently noticed in the chain saw. Used to be I would cut, set it down and let it idle while moving things and the engine would die. No more, it just sits there and waits for the next task. When starting, takes half the pulls to get it going. Same with the mowers.
I never paid much attention to the suggestions in owner's manuals about using 89 octane gas when I used 87 in my truck and it was too easy to fill up the small tanks with the same gas. Now I go to the trouble to stop and restart the pumps with 93 with additives and life is good.
