This is my first post here but have been looking around on this sight for a while. I just recently bought a used troy bilt push mower with a 6.5 B&S engine, the mower is about 2 years old. I also bought a used echo gt2000 trimmer that is about 10 years old. The mower runs good, so I only replaced the air filter. The trimmer idles a little rough so I replaced the fuel filter, spark plug, and air filter. I also bought some seafoam to put in the gas of both of them.
My question is should I run ethanol gas or ethanol free gas in them. Where I live I can only get ethenal free gas in 91 octane, but not sure if its too high because the echo suggest 89 and the mower suggest 87. Is it worth going with the higher octane because it is ethanol free?
This has probably been discussed before but could not find anything in the search.
