Ummm..... you shouldn't need it as the compression on the motors is low by todays standard.

The ethanol is detrimental to the older rubber/gaskets components in the fuel system. (hoses, carb, fuel pump, etc). So you would need to replace those components with newer "fuel safe" versions. Any newer rebuild kit should be using compatible parts now. Also ethanol will start to clean/dislodge any built up fuel varnish in the system, which then promptly can clog up filters and the carb jets.
