That does seem kind of odd, like an intermittent mechanical problem, tiny pin hole leak that conveniently did not act up when you were doing some trial and error diagnosing with the fuel types. I've always run my own carefully mixed fuel using stihl 2 cycle oil with good results, but recently started using moto mix, just to see how it runs on that, and when working on calm days, fumes are so much less noxious.
