I'm going to disagree with our small carb'd engine's being OK running E85, if you can get it started it will be running lean. With 28% less energy vs regualar gas you need to change the jets to feed more fuel per air flow to keep the engine happy.

With fuel injection making it down to small engines most won't take E85 just like most cars won't without a CEL. But all my cars take 50% without any problem. I'd run E15 in all my mowers never giving it a second though, isn't worth blending for a few gallons they use a week.

PS, love the VFR's, had a 83 v45 interceptor for a while, love to find a yellow 2000
