I understand you see a lot more carbs than I do but I would guess they are mostly newer ones. It is easy for people who don't do maintenance to use ethanol as a whipping boy which muddies the water. I am not sure that all ethanol blends are created equal. So lets just agree to disagree.
But the question still stands. Just xxx out the ethanol in the question.
I do run straight in my air cooled engines even though I have to cart it in from the next county.
We all have hot buttons.
