Default Fuel line problem?

I would also consider replacing the fuel lines. My next door neighbor has a 115 Suzuki (2007, I think) and this past summer the fuel lines turned to stretchy "gummy Bears" with holes in them. We were fishing and suddenly the motor wouldn't start, then we smelled gas. Pulled the cowling and saw holes in the fuel line. Managed to cut out a section, re-route it and make it home. Must have been the ethanol they switched to the year before in this area. We were fortunate to make it home under our own power. The motor had been worked on previously, so maybe the stock fuel lines were replaced with something non-ethanol resistant then - we don't know.

Still, might be cheap insurance to replace them or carry spares!
