Thanks Dave, must also check the tanks then :-(

Other linkers (off list) write that, "there were no E10 problems with
a Honda EU6800 generator and a chainsaw" also "one tank of E10 caused
our Honda Odyssey to seemingly choke when under load. As I was towing
a boat at the time it was quite alarming ... Honda spent half an hour 
tinkering with the EFI, with marginal improvement. Needless to say ..
this was the only E10 fuel I've ever put in the tank :-)" and another
Linker writes, "Having a look here .. www.fcai.com.au/environment/can
-my-vehicle-operate-on-ethanol-blend-petrol notes that for motorbikes
DO NOT use E10 and/or E85 for Honda, (All motorcycles and All Terrain 
Vehicles) Suzuki, (All motorcycles and All Terrain Vehicles) & Yamaha
(All motorcycle and All Terrain Vehicles), but, there's nothing about
power tools there."

Thanks guys,
Stephen
