Default Aviation gas??

I have a K241 10HP motor on CC 126 that my grandson is using for pulling. I'm thinking of using aviation gas in the place of high octane pump gas. Any thoughts or comments on this would be appreciated.

Waste of money. 87 octane is all you need. If you can find it in your are Rec fuel is great. It does not contain ethanol.

What mods are done to the engine????

87 octane fuel with ethanol is a good fuel if you practice good fuel storage habits.

you'll probably find out the bored carb hurts the torque. av gas was popular 50 - 60 years ago when the options for octane was very limited and the understanding of octane was not fully understood. We used it back in the late 70's. there's no reason to mess with it these days when there are so many options to use. 87 octane is all you really need. you don't have that much done to it and your c/r is still pretty low

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
