Aldehydes cause insanity apparently... so that's what happened to you.
Think fuel flow in *area* of jets. Don't forget the needle and seat
restriction playing a part in the setup. If you have a whopping main jet
it could drain the bowl and you will run lean at high rpm.. nasty.
Oh well you can't fall out of the sky. AFAIK they won't allow even E10 in
light aircraft.
