Ethanol proof carb and pump?

Post by Whiterabbit »

Is the rubber in the Pinz 710 carbs and pump ethanol proof? I've had early 70's gas military vehicles and the diaphragms just start to crumble when you run the E10 crap and plugs every damn jet in the carb. I finally was able to get an E "resistant" rebuild kit for my "1972 daily driver". Do I need to start looking for E resistant kits for the Pinz?? I know, I know, I should use E free gas but when you are stuck out in BFE you use what you can find.

Thanks,
M

Lots of us have no choice other than E10, and I've not heard/read of gasket/diaphragm related issues. Just the normal water/corrosion issues that come with E10 vs. E0.
