I've taken many carb apart and seen the destruction Ethanol does if left over the winter or longer. There is a reson they only sell non Ethanol at marinas. Take a junk carb and fill the bowl wth Ethanol then put it away somewhere safe for 4 to 6 months and pull it apart. I think you will be amazed. Exhaust is another isue. Did you ever notice all the water trickeling out of the car in front of yous tail pipe at the stoplight ? That a result of Ethanol and is a major polution going down the storm drains. It also causes you exaust to rot out much sooner. There are many articles writen about the good and bad effects of Ethanol over the years and I choose not to run it in my vintage or small engines. Tim
