word, you put something in perspective for me. 53,000 km on your agility. Not sure why I got so obsessed about carb cleaning, hell, I just turned 2800 km today. Thats 1800 mi, the engine likely is not even fully broken in yet! Could these quirky start up problems be related to that? Now I recall many of the cold start ppl 50 issues were those with low mileage engines.

So they think 87 is better, So they think 93 will hurt it? I'm not sure of their logic.

From what I understand, the thought is that running 93 if not needed will lead to unburned fuel which will foul the engine.

But I don't buy into that and continue using the 93.

My ppl 50 has 3,500 km , I have always run 93 octane . It may not really need 93 but im not buying that it will hurt anything . I almost always run seafoam also . I have heard that premium gas is more likely to be contaminated with condensation because it sells more slowly in most service stations and therefore sits in the underground tank longer . Maybe an urban myth but if it is true the seafoam takes care of it .
