Kinda same thing with my outboard motor,2000 model 90HP Yamaha,nothing but the cheapest 87 octane I can find,as of today,NEVER a problem with it........OTOH,my buddy has had to have the carb on his 2010 25HP Yamaha outboard rebuilt twice and he only buys gas from "name brand" companies.....
I just don't know anymore what to think.......

In the Pacific Northwest, we've had ethanol laced gas for 30 years. I've run it in my Cobra, a supercharged off-shore boat, all my Corvettes and every lawn tool I've ever owned. I've never had a fuel related issue with anything. Todays fuel is formulated to last a minimum of 1 year without any "snake
oil" additives. I'm always amazed when someone whines about how the ethanol ruined their 30 year old carb./fuel lines/etc.
