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)
