Yeah, I hear you...we've had a number of things that worked fine with no carb problems for 30 years until the ethanol was added, and now a lot of plastic and rubber parts that were fine for 30+ years shrink and fall apart. I hope the manufacturers of the carb kits start making them out of ethanol-compatible materials, or we are all going to be rebuilding our carbs every couple of years. The same needs to happen with rubber fuel line materials...I haven't found a brand that doesn't get hard in a year or so with today's gas.
