how long do your rubber boots last

[ArtB]

have 330, 350 and 360 Homelite saw, carb to engine rubber boots see to last only 3 years, used or in storage

yes, they have been 'mistreated' and ethanol 10% gas often used.

Will they last longer with non ethanol gas? Experience, not just opinion , eh <G>. Heck, my opinion is that the ethanol is hell on any kind of rubber.

I've heard 330 intake boots are prone to going bad, outside of two 330's I'm redoing I've never seen a "bad" intake boot.
