Well folks as much as I harp on ethanol and keeping a GOOD uninteruptted fuel supply to your mota it goes to show ya ya cant never be to careful.
When I rebuilt my carbs a year ago I replaced ALL fuel lines. Well as time when on they been dumping that crap ethanol inat the service staions. Yes I do use a water sepeator and additives to keep the fuel in order but still the ethanol got to my fuel line. The inner liner started coming apart. Another thing you need to keep an eye on. If you replace your fuel line make sure its ethaol friendly. I dont recall where I seen the new lines but they are supposed to be ethanol friendly. I noticed this while I was on pad last weekend AND turning a fairly sharp corner. The inner liner folded over like a door and cut the fuel supply like hitting the kill switch
