IMO, it is not the ethanol per se, but the other additives that are now being blended in with the ethanol that are causing the plugged pilot jets. The ethanol attacks rubber hoses and seals along with being corrosive to aluminum, but the clogged jets and varnish type accumulations are what cause me the most trouble with carburated engines.
