IMPORTANT
Use of alcohol blended fuels (more than 10%
alcohol) can cause major engine performance
and durability problems.

or lubricants will cause problems such as:
improper clutch engagements, overheat-
ing, vapor lock, power loss, lubrication de-
ficiency, deterioration of fuel lines, gas-
kets and internal carburetor components,
etc. Alcohol blended fuels will cause ahigh
absorption of moisture in the fuel/oil mix-
