Interesting. I've only ran one tank of 93 thru it before I tore it down. Just trying to be safe. I didn't notice any pinging or detonation, I was going to try some race fuel and see of I felt any difference. It shook a lot at idle. The plugs didn't look bad besides one side looked fuel saturation and black after 2-3 hours, other side looked clean.

Nasty is correct on the 100ll, it will work but not a good idea for a banshee, Your quad is not an airplane the 100 octane is inviting but the motor you have you need to convert it to pump gas any way its not built to make power why run all that compression just stressing on crank parts, there is a de-icer do to altitude I believe.

Incorrect.

As far as 100ll not being good for a banshee because it's not an airplane.

okay. I read it a different way.

Understandable. The person I quoted wasn't too clear on his response. But he did say " 100LL is not good for a banshee, it's not an airplane" . It might not be good, depending on setup, (pump gas motor) but as a blanket statement, it was incorrect.

99% of the guys saying that are simply regurgitating something they read on the Internet. As far as REAL WORLD use, myself and countless others have proven that false...repeatedly.

Guess my banshee has an airplane motor in it cause it loves av gas n sure does fly!!

 

Things I've found I stopped using bean oil with it 927 , klotz ect . I was having problems with seperation of the fuel below 60 degrees . Switch to AMs oil no more seperating. We litterally put beaker of av gas mixed w klotz outside In winter it turned grey and looked to seperate all the lead n oil out of mix . It was winter time ... Take back into garage n inside temperature being warm the fuel would come back together... In cold weather temps with bean oils fuel was jelling blocking pilot and not running . After long hrs of tinkering w sleeper06 figured out the key was the 2stroke oil .
