Can anyone help,

I purchased a Motoconfort C45S as a lockdown project.....where it has sat in the corner of the garage ever since

With all this e10 fuel change going on what is the correct concoction of fuel for my 4 stroke?

I have had it running but now not sure whether it needs additives, valve seat hardness etc,etc. Can anyone help

The C45S is a 125 side-valve, so it ought to run on almost anything. Ethanol in fuel can attack some rubbers and plastics but I don't suppose there are many of those in a C45S. The other problem with Ethanol is that it's hygroscopic so will absorb water, which can cause corrosion in the fuels system; using E5 rather than E10 will reduce that.
