Is there any disadvantage to running 100 LL Avgas in a 2 stroke Rotax engine if auto gas is not available ?

When I get fuel...I don't notice any differance bettween 92 oct and 100LL

 Execpt the price... 92 oct is expensive and 100LL is REAL expensive

When I was doing cross-country's in a 2 stroke, using 100LL, I found that after a while the lead would build up a bit on the spark plugs, so I just increased the frequency of plug swap-outs.  Besides that, no other issues.

Yeah, the engine will run. When gas isn't available, it won't.

Robert/Gang:



The lead is easy to get out of the spark plugs, 2 and 4 stroke.  I use 

a pen knife with small blade, or a piece of safety wire to clean the 

out.  Works for me.



Other than that, I never saw any difference between mogas and avgas.

I get 100LL regularly when flying away from my home field. I have my engine

broken down every 150 hours by an authorized Rotax repair station. I have

had no issues with performance whilst flying nor has the repairman made any

comments.

Hi Ken/Gang:



I bet your repairman loves to see you coming.  Most of us could not 

afford to pay someone to pull an engine every 150 hours.  Some of us 

would be pulling every month during the flying season.

Well, as he's also a good friend he gives me a bit of a break. I wish I

could afford to do as much flying as you describe. I got 100 hours in last

year, and that was a good year for me, what with the way the weather goes

here in Michigan. Maybe when that lottery ticket hits I'll be able to afford

something fast enough to keep up with you guys as well as be able to afford

the gas to do so.
