I run Union 76 all the time. The lead lubricates the valves as they run through their guides. I suspect that the newest models have less need for lead than older ones because, at least here in California, the manufacturers are already starting to put cataclysmic converters on the bikes, and that rules out lead. ______ / \ _______| |_______ / | Darryl | \ ___/|________|Richman |________|\___ / | | | | | | ...!ima | | | | | | \ | | | \`|'/ | !ism780 | \`|'/ | | | | | | -( )- | !darryl | -( )- | | | | | | /| |\ | | /| |\ | | | \_______| |___ ___| |_______/ | | |________| | | `-' `-'
