Don't use it.
You need to rejet the carb to run E85.
But if you must, don't be surprised if the plastic or rubber parts in the carb deteriorate fast on you as well. The ethanol in larger quantities may not be good on the rubber parts.
I also have a vague memory about ignition timing too, but I don't remember now.
