Ethanol blended fuel has been reeking havoc on the rubber fuel elements on my 145 lately causing loss of power and stalling.

The hoses are disintegrating on the inside which leads to clogged fuel pump, filter and carburetors. Complete disassembly and cleaning did wonders.
The worst was that I just changed the fuel lines. The new ones were supposed to be ethanol blend friendly, but were actually worse than the original hoses - go figure.

But sort out all the ignition components first. Then move on to fuel.
