[QUOTE="Tenntrapper, post: 4915519, member: 18110"] I'm not sure what type of experience you're looking for but... I had an older Johnson 20hp. It was built before ethanol fuel came out. I rebuilt the carb and ran whatever gas was available. It only took a tank or two for it to mess up. The plastic pivot pin for the float swelled causing the float to stick. I made a new pin from a metal coat hanger (correct size) and it ran fine after that. My understanding is motors not designed to run on it, may have parts that aren't compatible with ethanol. By comparison, my 2019 Yamaha f25 is designed to run on it. I still try to run non-ethanol....just in case. [/QUOTE]
