    Default fuel question

    Do i understand correctly the stock M715 engine was intended for leaded or unleaded fuel? So, i can use today's unleaded gasolines without worry?

    Unleaded is not a problem in the 230. No lead additive is needed.

    The fuel pump doesnt like modern fuels and the diaphragms may give up requiring a rebuild with more modern materials...that is the only problem I can think of...

    ...Due to the ethanol mixes and other fun stuff they put in gasolines these days, eh?
