So my neighbor is letting me keep my beloved Tahiti in his airplane hangar. Come to find out, aviation gas is 100 octane low lead. Now, my motor is a 1973 Chrysler 130 HP two stroke, so I'm guessing that it will be ok to run on leaded. Right? Sure, it's $4 a gal, but I just want to try it...once. Ok, maybe twice :220v: Could I harm anything by doing this? Anything special I should do if I run the gas as in extra oil, etc?

I run AV Gas in my jetboat. I add 4 oz. Marvel Mystery oil per 10 gallons. Tha gas is very dry. I have been running it for 3 years on prob.

Any octane rating over 87 is a waste of money and will most likely lower your power level in a two stroke with 115 lbs of compression.
You could get your dog to piss in the tank and that ole 130 Chrysler would burn it just fine.

yeah i dont think that high octane is going to much for an older motor like that. 91 octane at best
-
h 100LL avgas has about 9 times more lead than leaded autogas ever had, it is just lower than the old higher lead avgas.
I think it would be a waste of money for for your outboard unless you have considerably increased the compression. the old chrysler OB work best on about 87 octane.

I hate av gas. I don't know if it was just my sucky luck but I tried running it to see if it would make a difference in the way my allison ran and the thing stuck a piston after I switched it on. Haven't touched it since and won't reccomend it to anyone.

My Chrysler seems to run the best on 93 octane (yes 93, available everywhere out here), so I guess I'll stay away from the $4/gal 100LL, since 93 is about $2.19 right now

KK, I was just relaying what happened to me. I would rather mix 91 with 107 sunoco any day. I get the sun for 5 a gallon so it's a good way for me to go.
World finals? Is that a race or something like one? :p If I say yes and don't show I'm a cheap ass. Can I get my Harley in the pits with you? What are the dates? Hell, maybe. :boxed:

What kind of horsepower gains can I expect using dog piss?(recommended by lake trash)
