November 22, 200520 yr Ok, so I got a weber 6 mon ago, ran it for a bit then decided to rebuild it to be safe, replaced the old power valve, and now fast-forward 6 mon later ... I have something plugging up the carb, won't idle, I can't find where it's comming from, then I finnally tear-down the carb and the power valve looks like it's 20 yrs old!! The rubber is all eaten up and large chunks are floating around!! I call up carbsunlimited.com and they basicly ask if I have alcohol running through it (ok, so my brat has a drinking problem ... ) and I say, I don't know if there is a high ethenol content here or not, but basicly I'm screwed, gotta buy a new one :-\ Anyone else having this problem?
November 22, 200520 yr Author ***up-date*** Well, it turns out we do use ethanol in the fuel here, so I guess I will just start ordering new powervalves every 6 mon .... oh well, at least now I know what it was ...

Just about everywhere uses a 10% ethanol mix, they've been doing it for years, that shouldn't be the problem.
