Take out all the old fuel and run your first tank with straight 100LL. Top it with 100LL before your last run, and top it after when putting away for the winter. It is much better on your fuel system than pump gas. It has no ethanol, I can't believe nobody mentioned that yet.

I only run 100LL, nothing else, but I can write it off, so it ends up being cheaper than pump gas at the marina. Love the smell, and the internals are always very clean when the engine is opened up.

This is from another thread.....
If your choice is pump gas or 100ll av gas I would go with the 100ll. I had some 1050's that were set up a little on the lean side for 93, I decided to run the av gas and never had a problem and I ran this boat hard.
I spoke with Mike at sterling and he said the av gas was much superior to pump fuel and that the valves would really like the lead content. He did say that race fuel would be his first choice though. Just my experience..
