..As for Ethanol in today's gasolines, I'v run it with no problems for all the years its been a common additive at the pump...(but I avoid it when possible)
Walked past my big yamaha, electric start, back-up generator..sitting in the back corner of my car-port, yesterday,...Saw the red light was on..on the Battery Tender JR, that I keep hooked to it...tho the desulfanator was still blinking as it should ! On a closer inspection I saw one terminal on the battery tender had sat so long it rotted off (it's been over a year since i checked it out)...Anyway i pulled the generator out on the drive and opened the fuel valve and hit the starter...it fired up like it had been running an hour befor...(the Battery was bought with the generator in 2003)...Point Being..The generator has sat for over a year with Calif 87 octane unleaded gas in the tank -But I added STA-BIL to the fuel when I filled it, that stuff works !

Neglect...and Demensia...thats what rot's away at thngs I should be concerend about ! (maybe the other way around ?)
But I supose it's from all that leaded paint on the window sil's I was knawing on, as a child...and the lead pipes in the houses I was living in....and the several serious encounters with Carbon Monoxide Poisioning I survived over the years..And the Aluminum Cook Ware I have eaten from...tho I cant remember why -that- is a factor ?.. ...But it was all part of the great adventure's...that I continue to seek. Oh Yea...I think I'll add some Sea Foam to the Generators fuel.

I have rebuilt the carb on my buddy's Honda ATC four times now due to ethanol eating out the rubber seals in the carb. He is now trying to find a marina in his area where he can get good gas for his two machines. Seen first hand the damage it causes and yes I do remember leaded gas and the trouble we had when that started going away and all the marine engines that needed it. My 69 Plymouth ran better and I had less fuel system trouble when I could get leaded gas for it. Had to put fuel treatments in it after the lead went away. Our gas today is overpriced crap.

I Do LOVE Building model's...can sit up all nite sometimes just..glueing..glueing..glueing
A Note of interest to the yonger generation that might want to build up a 'classic car"..or engine mfg befor 1978. Unleaded gasoline requires "hardened valve seat's"...befor unleaded was in use the mfg'ers did not need to harden the seats (a process done thru electonic heating/hardening)..SO if you put big bucks into a classic engine.and then run unleaded gas..it will burn out the seats pretty soon...and reqiure expensive rebuilding Classic valve seats can be "hardened" ..thru machining-in, a hardened seat..or hi tech "flame hardening" really Really BIG Car Show here this week end...took these this evening. Who is old enough to ID the Maroon car on the Right ? (Very Rare Model)

Looks like a 54 Meteor. My Dad had one. They didn't use the meteor name in the US back then only Canada. I guess the equivalent down there was a base model merc or a bit dressed up ford.

The Maroon Ford in the photo is a 1954 Ford "Business Coupe/Custom Coupe"
Very few were mfg'ed, and 54 was the last year for Ford's "Coupes"... ID by the extra long trunk ..from the base of the rear window--> Back (due to a very small back seat -or no back seat at all !) As I recall the Business Coupe came with no back seat, as that area was left open for the traveling salemans sample cases...The "Custom Coupe" had a very small back seat (for kids) Additional ID can be made by referring to the rear side windows..they are "shorter" than the the standard Two Door Sedan's rear side windows..

Thanks for sharing Sam. I need to get out to more car shows. Pics are nice but nothing beats the real thing.
