Already ahead of you on that... I will upgrade the carb with a rebuild kit. Here in Canada Ethanol blended fuel is not a bad thing. Instead, I will be using Aviation Fuel - AvGas 100/130 with a Sodium Phosphate additive to replace the now banned Tetraethyl (Lead). The occasional tank of 92 octane Premium Grade Fuel wont be a bad thing either. Using the 87 octane regular is just going to cause too much pinging and knocking no matter how the carb is adjusted.
