Excellent question. It would be an interesting study to see why some engines are affected and others are not. My experience is not that E10 is bad--its just not suitable for all engines. Like you, my lawnmowers, etc seem unaffected. However, the NAA seems to be attacked quickly by rust and water-ethanol/ gasoline phase separation. When last run in the spring, I drained both tank & bowl, and sprayed the carb with WD-40 through the fuel line inlet (to get it in the bowl). It remained rust-free all summer until this fall, when I put E10 in it to run it again. In as little as 3 weeks, phase separation began and rust started to form, clogging the main jet.
In the mean-time, if you're having good luck with ethanol-blended fuels, I hope it continues. Send some of it (the luck, that is) my way! Best regards, Dave
