type of gas?

[stumped]

Hi All,<br />Probably a stupid question, but please help. I have a 305 Dream that I am restoring. I'm new to older bikes and am enjoying the project. I'm at the point to riding it but want to be sure I'm giving it the right food. Does it take a high octane gasoline with a lead additive or just unleaded gas?<br />Thanks for your help.

<br />I just got done restoring a 67, 305 scrambler and i am positive that it is a hi octane gas with lead additive, thats what i was told to use from the original owner and it works great!

I am also working on my 1966 305 I purchased in April. I have the original owners manual and here is what is says:<br />&quot;Our recommended octane number of petrol in use is 85 to 95. It is advisable to use petrolof higher quality which is supplied from trustworthy petrol stands.&quot;<br />I am using 87 out of the tank at &quot;trustworthy petrol stands&quot;!

From talking w/ numerous guys that have been riding,restoring,and racing 305's since '61 and my own 15 years of being a mechanic I advise running a high octane fuel from a &quot;trustworthy petrol stand&quot;<br />in any gas engine.<br /><br />georGe
