We have had ethanol gas here for three years now in CT. I am running a carbed 1996 Yammi (3 carbs, 200hp). This is the second season I have had to rebuild the carbs. There might have been 50 hours of use. I have the 10 micron racor filter.
I rebuilt the bottom carb last night. There was a piece of crud in the bowl that was about the size of a number 2 pencil eraser. When I grabbed it, it crumbled into a fine powder. This ethanol fuel sucks. My tank is 100 gallons, and I would have to cut the floor to remove and clean or replace it. I have friends who have spent a plie of money and hours in frustration because of this fuel additive.
Get ready to replace fuel lines, and primer bulbs because the ethanol seems to break some of them down.
