My recently rebuilt B was running fine untill I added non ethanol gasoline. I never heard of this being a problem.

Engine misses under load ( Load being trying to go down a paved street in 3rd)

Only other thing changed was adding oil to the air filter (I had been runnng it withoil until I patched a leak in the cap)

Thanks

Wally

should not make a difference... gas might be OLD... have a trace of water in it... got a spec of dirt in the main jet ... or just need to adjust the carb adjustable jet a 1/2 turn ??

Like them all, but love the "B"s.

It turns out to be an ignition problem gas was a co-incidence,
