I just bought one to replace a cracked 25 yr old one on my weedeater. I doubt I'll get 25 yrs from the new one.
Not sure. But I just replaced the priming bulb on my Stepfather's Echo after 20 years. According to the shop they may have 3 or so carbs they use on one model. But, he just gave me a generic Echo primer bulb. You may want to try a small engine repair shop if no one links you to aftermarket ones.
I've never heard of such a failure rate! Gotta be a bad batch. I've replaced a few ~20yr/old ones, that's about it.

Would treating it with 303 Aerospace or some other protectant / conditioner keep that from happening?
These are clear , plastic things . The rubber one on my mower's been on there forever also , but the 2-stroke ones are just terrible.
The thought of some plastic conditioner is worth a shot, or maybe opening up the parts drawer and finding one in a different material.
tnx

I bet that the alcohol added to fuel now has an effect on their lifespan.
