Hey Ralph, My Firman is tri-fuel and has been mostly run on natural gas from the house. It wouldn’t run on gasoline.
I have had carburetors apart before, so I dig in. The float valve, main jet, and bowl were full of gunk. A few good shots of carb cleaner spray and a quick wipe down and I was back in business! Seriously. If anyone has issues with their generator, sing out. Retirement means all kinds of time for such things! 73 Dan KJ5IZK On Wed, Jun 18, 2025 at 9:57 AM ralph phillips via BVARC <[email protected]> wrote: > Dan commented his generator would fire on starting fluid but not run.
