I know it's next to impossible to diagnose many problems in a forum, but I was looking for some input on my generator. I'm pretty good at diagnosing and fixing normal, small gas engines - like for lawnmowers and weed wackers... But I haven't worked on many generators.
It starts right up - but oscillates throttle. Not deeply, but enough to be annoying. I'm thinking that there is probably some varnish built up in the carb, having sat for so long. It's probably slightly starved for fuel. The governor thingy is probably revving it to keep it running. What would you guys suggest I try? Cleaning out the jets? I already replaced the fuel filter and spark plug.
Thanks.
