Even though cold starts wouldn't be so easy in a carburettor-fed air-cooled engine while running pure ethanol, it won't really harm the engine. I'd just be concerned about the fuel lines, since some earlier materials may not be so suitable to a high ethanol content, even though so many Beetles and other air-cooled Volkswagens run well with the high ethanol content of Brazilian gasoline, and once in a while I see people claiming an ethanol-powered air-cooled VW as being better than a gasoline-powered one.
