A great big sign in the dealer I use for yard equipment (leaf blowers, chain
saws etc) says using an ethanol mix greater than 10% voids the warranty of the
equipment manufacturers.

Speakin' o' Ethanol, has anyone on here actually experienced fuel line rot due
to Ethanol? Any ideas what kind of fuel line would resist said rot?
MY lines were lookin' bad, so I had them changed out...
AND, I hear that the Ethanol mix ~might~ be goin' up to 15% soon...
And, thanks Will! I still have somethin' for you! Now, we're gonna HAVE to
get together!

With the Ethanol mixture the idle jet needs to come up 5 and the main 5 to 10
depending on AC jet.

I put a 65 jet out of a 30/31 in mine that corrected the non idle problem, it
had a 50. It runs great, but a little rich, and I think the mileage should be
better, so I'm going to try the other jet from the same carb, which is a 55
when I get a chance.

I'm gonna have to check mine. I've got 2 that are less than a year old that
will not idle.

On the way to T@P my 71 Westy started to die at stop signs and red lights. I
pulled the Pict 34 when I got home, shot carb cleaner through it , pulled the
jets and all that. Still no idle. I checked the solenoid - it was good. Pulled
the pilot jet and looked on the end - there were 2 specs of crud there. Tapped
it on a mirror - shot carb cleaner through it. Re-installed and the bus idled.
Eureka! I'm happy as Denis is with the Ducks being #1 now!
Wanted to pass on this experience to the group. There is a whole tread on the
samba about the pilot jet causing lots of agony with the Pict34. (Being screwed
in too far is the most common problem)
