If that one length of fuel line isn't rated for ethanlo fuel, that very well could be the problem...I was by my shop here one day and the tech showed me some old fuel line...split down one side, easy to spread apart, the inside of the hose looked like gator skin and crumbled when touched...those small pieces of crumbling rubber were going straight into the carbs...the rubber compound was not formulated for alcohol, only gasoline...replacing that line should be relatively easy to do...I would follow that advise next...
