Fuel Question

Post by tooltruckguy »

I'm looking at buying a 1972 350 Scrambler. I believe it is a non desmo. It's been a long time since I owned a Ducati. My question is, what do I need to do so the bike will run on non leaded 10% etahnol as fuel. When I last owned Ducatis, high test leaded gas was still available at the gas stations.

Thanks for your help.

If the bike has a Fiberglass tank you will have to coat the inside with Caswell Tank Sealer or it will disintegrate from the ethanol attacking the glass.Otherwise it should run OK on premium 93 octane.
