Default RE: AV GAS and DA 50cc

Another reason not to use "Avgas" is because it is also a "low lead" fuel. I've used a tremendous amount of 100 octane avgas in 100cc engines and had to toss most of them after about 60 hours of running time due to extremely high lead and carbon build up. The lead fouls plugs quite quickly, BTW, even the avition type used in some Herbrandson engines.
