Dayum. That's hella better than my truck! No wonder you're so fast.In my 212cc with 12.5:1 compression I'm running VP 110 octane and it's just purrrrfect. In my 99cc with 8.5:1 compression I'm running 100 octane pump gas and it doesn't seem to be hurting it any.
As a rule, you only need high octane if you have a high compression engine.
Adding a little nitro-methane to your fuel on the other hand.........
Or NOS Or a turbo! Supercharger anyone?
All that's available here to my knowledge is the 93 no ethanol.87 no-ethanol. Why force feed it champagne when it's perfectly happy with beer?
Seafoam is the reasion, i have seen 87 enthoanal at small engine repair sitting in a ice cream bucket for a couple of hours after purches,that had water in the bottom. Seafoam breaks it down and passes it through.For many years off and on, I've done lawn-care work. My experience has been that any petroleum based, non marine, 2 cycle oil, and any pump gas will run any piece of lawn equipment. Obviously the mix ratio may be different per the manufacturer. I have never destroyed or damaged any equipment in any way by choice of oil brand name, or gas octane rating.
Your engine is similar to all of those engines. I would treat it the same as all of those engines. Some members feel strongly that synthetic oil and a certain octane is better than other options for whatever reasons, and they may be right.
My 4-Stroke gets low-grade pump gas, and 1oz per Gallon of Sea Foam.
Right or wrong I've just understood that 2 cycle engines should not have ethanol used in them. It would certainly be more convenient if it didn't matter. I guess I can research this a bit.For many years off and on, I've done lawn-care work.
