In things that get regular use and smei regular use, or seasonal, I never had any real problems, well in 2010 my MTD gold snowblower had a carb issue, but resolved itself, without disassembly.
I have one string trimmer that the fuel lines all cracked.
My Stihl MS390 saw eventually fractured its fuel line meaning many little cracks and eventually failed.

My '96 F150, sat since '03 though run in the yard over the years fuel pump has done the same thing, won't get to that until it cools off again.
