Pazon ignition for Laverda SF 750

[Paul Marx]

Ha ha ha...........Haute Savoie, Samoens local supermarket, along with 65% ethanol pump with a warning that it may harm engines not designed for it..... did not risk it on my 56 alloy engined Triumph T100.... or the Morini 125 from 1959.....

First I've heard of it. We have E85, 85 % alcohol, E5 and E10.
And Pastis.
That's it.

Alcohol won't harm an engine, you just need to adjust fuelling.

If you run EFI in the US you can use a flex fuel sensor that reads the gasoline content of the fuel and adjusts the mixture accordingly. In California all gasoline has some ethanol due to the farm lobby wanting to sell more corn and maybe the same in other states too.

I’ve been running a Boyer trouble free in the white SF2 for over 25 years and it’s been in my Egli for another 10+ years. The trick is to give it some advance at idle, which surprisingly makes the engine idle better than at TDC.

Not that surprising as I can’t think of another motorcycle that fires at TDC .I’m pretty sure this harks back to when they bought out the 750 out they were fearful of backfiring during starting so erred on the side of safety.

Great roads, I regularly make a tour in the portes de soleil area...
