I have a 1940 H equipped with a Woods belly mower. I replaced the head on that H early last spring with a fresh, rebuilt, high compression gasoline head. Other than new valves and seats, the head is stock. After the initial start up and adjustments were made, I then filled the gas tank with E85 and began cutting grass. The H ran GOOD, but did have a slight hesitation when pulling the throttle open quickly. I opened the main load screw an additional 2 full turns, for a total of 5 turns out, and that did help with the hesitation, but did not cure it completely. I think I need to open the carb, take out the main metering stem and drill the inlet holes out just a wee bit so more fuel can get to the engine.
Other than the slight hesitation and slightly longer warm up time being needed, that old H performed flawlessly running on straight E85, and I parked the tractor late last fall with E85 still in the tank. Time will tell if that was a good idea or not.
Yes, the E85 did clean the tank. I had to empty the sediment bowl only twice.
