Hello Gang,
I have the above OB on my Premier 235 Escapade and I have read thru the manual but can not find if this engine has a knock sensor. It lists that you can run unlead 86 octane with no problem. Now I know if there is not a knock sensor that adjusts the timing to stop pre-detition then running premium will not make it run any better. If there is a sensor that does that then it will respond better to the higher octane. Not wanting to run premium all of the time but when I know I am going to have a load of people on board it would be a nice thing to have a "little more umph".
Thanks in advance for the responses.
