Gaskets are prone to modern petrol in outboard engines it destroys and breaks them down E 10 especially
(I Always use premium grade E5 fuel less ethanol) ethanol can have a corrosive effect on metal, plastic and rubber parts in the fuel system
So I changed every gasket in 3 carburettors on the boat also it did attacked my petrol pump diaphragm so I serviced that also.
