Well Rick in CO you can buy fuel with ethanol or fuel with more ethanol. We cannot buy fuel without it. So we make the best of a bad situation. As far as plugs go I have tried to replace the plugs with other brands and for whatever reason the parts house cannot cross them to another brand. I know, seems odd, but that is what I have found. The replacements that I have found that are other brands are too long and may contact the piston so I don't try them. Fuel is fuel as long as the mixtures can be met. The reason Kohler does not recommend ethanol is because they have not upgraded their rubber and plastic components to accept it. Other than that any engine will run on it as long as the proper air/fuel mixtures can be met to keep them from running too lean. It takes about 20% more alcohol to run an engine on alcohol than gasoline. As long as we don't let them lean out they should be fine. Since the Kohlers are WAY to rich from the factory at high altitude and the manufacture are not willing to re-jet to compensate or even offer a fix we can get away with a little added ethanol in the fuel with no issues. Believe me the next machine I buy will have a Honda, Kawasaki, or a Yamaha in it. The US made small engines are crap and wont run right, right out of the box.
