110 AV fuel wouldn't hurt a small engine, but it probably wouldn't run on it either. The small engines designed for 85 octane just don't have enough compression to ignite that high octane fuel.

As for Sea Foam, I used to use that from time to time (every 10th tank of gas or so) as a carb cleaner, haven't used it in years, but it's good stuff.
