alcohol and carb question
here is my dilemna....
I work offshore and am gone 4-6 weeks at a time.
My holley carb leaks everytime I get home.
Last hitch it was the rear bowl, this time I fired it up and the front bowl and the balance tube o-ring were destroyed.
I don't really mind replacing the gaskets/orings every year, but 8 times a year is getting annoying.
I can only assume this has to do with ethanol in the fuel? as it doesn't seem like it was a problem in years gone by.
Finding fuel with no ethanol is nearly impossible, so where can I find gaskets/orings that'll stand up to the stuff?
or do I just need to drain the bowls everytime I leave and hope for the best?
many thanks,
Drew
Damn, that's something I didn't want to hear. I'm glad I got to meet him and Rosie and Rick. I'm proud to have had him as a friend, RIP Johnboy
