Jim, aside from the finer problems of E10, if Scott's old fuel lines were "gasoline" resistant, there's every chance that continued exposure to the ethanol in E10 would have literally rotted the 'rubber' away and allowed it to gunk up the carb. Alcohol does a real number on all sorts of "rubber" parts and new fuel lines should be rated for resistance to that as well. Of course, if a PO simply picked up two feet of rubber hose at Home Depot...Haven't we all heard THAT song before? (G)
