If you managed to find any leaded gas then No, it will not hurt anything.
The engine originally ran on leaded gas (hence, no torque converter). Leaded gas is no longer available (in the US), but the vehicle will run well on unleaded.
Leaded gasoline.
Leaded petrol
An engine of that era would run better on leaded gas.
I don't believe there is a such thing as a leaded fuel engine. All gasoline is unleaded, some just a higher grade.
Yes, it needs leaded gas to run right.
In 1971, the average price per gallon of regular leaded gas was $.36 cents.
Personification is assigning human charactistics or emotions to inanimate objects or animals. For instance, "My car likes leaded gas." Although it may run better with leaded gas, it cannot "like" it because it has no ability to form an opinon.
Hi, I would like to know this as well, anybody out there know I think it will run on unleaded. I don't think they make leaded gas any more unless you buy the additive.
Yes. I had a 1969 LeSabre in 1980 that still used leaded gas. Any auto store will have lead substitute. Maybe another poster knows if super unleaded is good enough.
Your engine says to use leaded gas in it because when it was made, leaded gas was what you got. The lead was there to protect the valves in a four-stroke engine. A two-stroke like yours has no valves, so it needs no lead. Ipso facto, so long as you keep putting a good grade of two-stroke oil in your gas, you can run all the unleaded in it you want.
