	So first off the sled runs great (I know, if it ain't broke don't fix it) But anyways the wire is to be plugged in for regular fuel, and unplugged for ethanol, mtbe or other fuels. I run 91 ocatne and it's plugged in. But my question is the fuel in my area is now 10% ethanol. Should I unplug this wire? Will I do any damage if I try it?

	I believe you need to unplug it for anything containing more than 10% ethanol. If you're running the 10% ethanol that most places have, you should be fine to leave it plugged in. When unplugged, it just adds more fuel across the board. Unless you know it's running lean with the 10%, I'd leave it plugged in. 2006 Arctic Cat SnoPro 440/700 EFI 1998 Arctic Cat ZR 600 EFI Custom 1996 Ski-Doo FormulaIII 600 A mountain lion roaming the prairie found a bull, killed it and ate the entire bull.

	I have the exact sled you're talking about and we burned up one side leaving it plugged in with 10% in the machine. On the other hand I just broke in our new 06 XFR EFI with it plugged in and didn't have an issue. Keep in mind I was running under 50 for 20 miles. JMHO, take it with a grain of salt "Well Dad i grabbed a fist full of the Go-Stick and, well, as you can see the sled is in that hole now." There is no replacement for displacement.

	My Arctic Cat dealer told me to leave it alone! I have ridden Artic Cat efi sleds for 3 years or so and have not had one problem. Good luck. Sleds 2004 Arctic Cat F6 efi ext 2007 Ski Doo MZX 500SS Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit
