[QUOTE="ben2go, post: 54517, member: 751"] Ethanol blended fuels have a habit of eating rubber and gaskets.I would say the float needle in the carb probably had the rubber end ate off by the ethanol.I've had it happen on other motorized things.When you are leaving the water with the boat,pop off the fuel line, and let the engine run till it dies.Then try to start it to make sure the fuel is gone.This will help keep the ethanol from sitting on vital carb parts and eating them up.
