Are you running the 87 octane or did you move up in $$$ and buy the expensive stuff? I see a lot of Rec90 for sale at marinas but not too much 95 RON.
Don,
My understanding is the 350 wants 91 OCT... and 200 to 300 can run on 87 but makes a little more power on better gas. I am a knucklehead who always runs 91 regardless... Ran it in all 3 of my verados, my 225 EFI my 250 OX66, more of an added insurance. Since my Tsunami is a Trailer Queen It doesnt rip my pocket book to hard at the Real Pump. Plus i am Uber religious about pre-emptive maintenance... Change oil on the V-rod ever 75 hours, new plugs at Cough Cough $11 each, Fuel filters on the Engine as well as the Racor.

I don't usually have the issues that many have... Not to mention i also just change the Gear Lube as well. Cost about $230 To service myself and takes me about an hour to do. Figure the running costs are minor versus buying new motors.

Robert

u can run the GEN 2's on 87 I believe 350hp but not recommended.
