Quote: had a really bad dead spot I coulndn't get rid of,and seemed lean no matter what I did.
what kind of ignition? i had the same problem coming off the 2 step.
I have learned that more heat in the motor will help that problem. Only time I have had that issue is in the cooler weather.
That's why I think all the fretting over seasonal changes to the blend are an overreaction. Your engine might just like the lower ethanol content in cold weather, that is why they change it after all.
