It's not that nobody cares, so cancel the pity party.
Frankly I cannot say that I have EVER heard of anyone having a problem even remotely similar to yours. I've been around tractors all my life, and on this forum for over 10 years, and I have never come across needle valves literally turning gooey in the presence of carburetor cleaner.
Last year I bought a cheap Tisco kit for the Zenith carb on my Super A. I have the opposite problem as you. Mine doesn't seal 100% and will develop a slow drip if I leave the gas valve on.
Again, I've been using ethanol fuel since it came out here probably close to 15 years ago. Not a single problem. Nothing plastic, rubber, viton, or whatever has melted or even softened. I have chainsaws and mowers and weed wackers and tractors that sit for months with untreated gas in them, and they start right up. Your foot-stomping insistence that it *HAS* to be the ethanol has me scratching my head as much as your problem does.
