I try to avoid ethanol in my small engines even in those supposedly designed for it. It's a powerful solvent and a potential troublemaker in my experience.

Old float seat swelled up and crumbled, carefully removed all old pieces with a small stiff wire.
After making sure new seat was correctly oriented and centered in hole, I pressed it in with the blunt end of a drill bit that was almost as big as the hole. Then reassembled carb and put it back on the mower.
