Genset start up after winter storage
Nice day in Upstate NY so went to let the Genset run a bit. Winter storage with StaBil 360. First attempts would run 3 to 4 minutes and blah blah blah out. Checked the fuel cap, air filter, restarted with air on for the load ran for35 minutes skipping some and shut down with code 36. Spoke with Jake at the dealership, use frequency biggest problem with running the Genset, I've only 40 hours on it. Jake also suggested the common cause for poor running is the needle valve on the bottom of the bowl with the 2 wires connected to it, his recommendation was to remove the jet and clean with carb cleaner. The removal of this jet easier said then done so tried removing the fuel line running the fuel out of the carb and inserting the plastic tube from the can of car cleaner up into the bowl and filling it with the cleaner, and while letting it soak I filled the fuel line with cleaner and put the air box back together primed the unit hit the start and the Genset ran for an hour with the air on and no skips or hesitations. With the crimped on fuel line clamp changed for a new band I'll be able to remove the fuel line and spray the cleaner much easier in the future.
