Well, the only thing I can say at this point is that nobody is going to admit the guilt:

Not the oil/gas companies.
Not the rubber/carb parts companies.
Definitely not our government.
Not the Chinese.
ETC., ETC.

Guess it's up to us to figure it out..... One thing though; for some reason, the fuel pump diaphragms haven't given me much trouble. When the problem is in the carb, I rarely find a bad fuel pump diaphragm; it is almost always the regulator diaphragm that goes bad. And once again guys, we are not talking about isolated incidents here, I've found the problem in dozens and dozens of small engine fuel systems. (in reality probably hundreds but I've lost count....)
