Guessing I’ll be looking for Ethanol free gas stations in the future. Maybe %10 is okay.
Ignition problem? Rough idle, dies

I don't recall exactly, but my Edelbrock info said not to use gas/ethanol in excess of...15? percent ethanol? That had me worried at first, until I learned that the gas in my area was below the "overdose" percentage. The ethanol ruins the seals.
Thanks for all the suggestions!
It was goo in needles and a falling apart needle o ring! Took the carb apart and gave it a good cleaning. Runs great now. Changed the oil because who knows how much gas got dumped.
The secondary bowl had a little residue at the bottom. I’m guessing I had some fuel with too much ethanol sit for a little whilein the carb.

Some gas stations cheat and sell gas that contains more than 5% ethanol despite being labeled 5%. Furthermore, those O rings are subpar, in this day and age carb soft parts should be able to withstand ethanol.
