I have a 15 year old 8HP Mercury 2 stroke outboard on my dingy. I never had a lick of trouble with that motor until I put some E10 in it 2 or 3 years ago. First off the gas pickup tube inside the gas tank fell apart and the primer bulb in the gas line was also attacked. So I had to buy a new gas tank and a new primer but that was not the end of my problems. The crap from the rotten rubber kept plugging up the fuel filter and some actually got into the carb. I must have removed the carb and filter 6 or 7 times before I finally got all of the junk cleaned out. Now a small primer diaphram in the carb has been attacked so I have to change that.
