Last week I had a bloke bring a Victa with side pull motor back because it wouldn't start. I pulled the spark plug out and immediately I said to him "this has been straight fueled" He was adamant that it hadn't but the plug was just an orange colour, no sign of blackness at all. Anyway I drained the tank and it looked like it had oil in it, but I replaced it with some of my fuel, bit of messing about and I got it running again, much to my amazement, I was totally convinced it was straight fueled. Anyway today he told me that the fuel he had mixed was ethanol blend and might that have been the problem. I don't know but I am wondering if anybody has had any similar experience with using ethanol blend in a 2 stroke
