It seems to be running ok now....three carbs later. 1st Brazilian 30 PICT3, ran very inconsistently. 2nd 34 PICT3, ran like a rapped ape but would not idle. 3rd 28 PICT1 with loose throttle shaft bushings, started right up runs good, good idle but not amazing.

The generator took a shit on me. The bearings were bad too. Just ordered a rebuilt one from BRAX.
