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!
