I read your reply, jumped on the bike and went straight to see Ralph the Stihl dealer over at Rainbow Crossing.
A) This Tanaka, and some Stihls, have pre-set carbs, no adjustment allowed.
B) Stihl recommends mid-grade 89 major brands.
so
C) Guess I'll do a Pablo, get some 91, concoct some evil brew so the gallon of 87 magically becomes 89 octane.
or probably better
D) Throw the whole batch and a half into the car and start over.
The research goes on !!
Thanks Pablo for the input !
