Here is a great place to find Carb. cleaner, Engine Tuner Spray, and Carbon cleaners for 2 and 4 stroke Outboards.

I know this isn't a outboard forum, but just some info where you can get some products to help fight some of the E-10 fuels as the two strokes are some of the more sensitive engine designs to E-10 fuels. Also I know alot of truck enthusists (At leaset the ones I know) are also ATV and Moto enthusist also and some of these products may help with those 2 stroke motors.

The thing with E-10 is it also diminishes MPG. There are some stations still around where I live that have 100% gas. And I have noticed that my car gets less milage on one tank full with E-10 gas. Standard gas I see on average 250 Miles for one fill-up. on E-10 gas I am lucky to get 210 maybe 220 miles on one tank. which is 12 - 16% less mileage.
