Yep, it was a mis-speak...I meant 8.5:1

Hmm,
RE: the fuel issue.....I don't see any carbureted models with lower
than 8.5:1 except a few 235hp models with 7.2 compression. Perhaps
that is what you were referring to.
I suppose some may consider it a fuel issue, but the 4 cyl models
with 8.5 compression such as the 180hp fly just fine on premium
mogas, IF the airframe has no issues and the fuel is mostly ethanol
free, so don't see any reason why 2 more cyl at same compression
should change that.
