What do you think?
C16 is not that much different than the 25 cent/gallon Hi-Test that we used to run in the go-carts and mini-bikes.:icon_mrgreen:
I just want to burn up some old C16.

I ran High octane in my chain saw for years just cause I could and I was able to get the 20 year old homelite started this week with the 5 or more year old gas in it so it cant be all bad....

You may get lead deposits in the cylinder. The mower it timed for 87 octane so it will not completely burn the C16. It might make for a hotter muffler. It should burn though. I know race fuel doesn't store for long so I am not sure what it has broken down to..

Well it might have killed the 18 year old mower or not.
It ran hotter, smelled like 30 years ago, and wouldn't start last night.
Changed the plug, new gas, cleaned the carb, it is dead.
Will tear it down and see what failed.
It was time for a new one anyway.
