a normal a12 takes leaded, but my ma had a 120Y, and she was told by a mechanic that she could run unleaded two times then leaded once. Linc.

Owner's manual indicates "regular" fuel of 92 octane. Of course regular these days is around 87 or 89 so you'll need to use premium unless you retard ignition timing a bit.

Also, as far as leaded or unleaded, use whatever is available. I have been using unleaded for years and have not had any problems with valve seat recession yet.

valve recession isn't a problem in engines that have alloy cylinder head. I prefer to use premium unleaded because it has nearly the same power output as leaded fuel and you don't have to change the timing. Thats my theory anyway. Chris
