[AT] never had that to happen before

[Cecil Bearden]

I found that the pertronix system will let me run regular unleaded gas 
in older engines without a loss of power.  regular unleaded has water in 
it to make it burn cooler fore EPA crap.   Premium unleaded is what I 
run in all small engines, atv's and older engines without electronic 
ignition.  The carburetors work a lot better and don't have to be 
cleaned out after winter.  I did have to install in line filters in 
everything using premium unleaded as it has some ethanol in it and will 
clean out the fuel tanks.
