Fuel for Marder

Hello,

The local gas station sells 105 octane leaded racing fuel. Has anyone ever used racing fuel in their Marder and if so was it leaded.

Thanks

Scottie

You are not suppose to run leaded fuel in these 2-stroke engines.

Not unless your running a modded engine that's been fully ported and bored out, otherwise just plain ole unleaded 87 octane is all you should use.

The 1/4 scalers have been running VP C-16 which I believe is leaded gas for years and no problems

Leaded gas will not harm your engine. It's used as a lubricant in early four stroke engines to keep the valves from cracking their seats. In a fixed port, two stroke engine, it's useless. It will not help or hurt performance. Lead poisoning will make your kids dumb though!
