style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial',sans-serif; FONT-SIZE: 18pt">I have had trouble
getting my BJ8 SU HD8 carbs to operate properly since taking them off during
the engine rebuild. The engine would just not idle properly at 1000 rpm (never
could get it lower and maybe the tack is off) I am using color tune to
get the mixture right without success. My good friend George suggested
Premium 92 Octane Non-ethanol fuel, so I bought a tank full and just tweaked
the fuel mixture one turn rich and went for a drive. Seemed to like
something I did. One tank later, the engine is idling better, and the
engine response is better. I thought $3.34 per US Gallon was very high
compared to $2.69 here in south Florida. Nevertheless, will continue to
use as the engine seems to like it. Yes, we have some of the lowest
prices in the state of Florida thanks to Gulf Coast Refineries and delivery
via barges. Note there are no refineries in
Florida.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial',sans-serif; FONT-SIZE: 18pt">Ops, unleaded just
jumped to $2.89 over night so I guess 92 will go up 20 cents or more on my
next fill up. Probably, will send the carbs to Joe over the summer to
see if he can make them run the engine better. Afterall, the expense on
the Healey and other toys in retirement is a SKI purchase,” Spend the Kids
Inheritance”. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal>During my jaunt to the west coast meet in Parksville, BC in
2012 I indulged in a tank of Premium non-ethanol fuel. As I recall it was
priced by the liter and calculated to about $6.50 per gallon. The car loved
it. The card, not so much... <o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
