What I did was soaked my old carb in a coffee can filled with seafoam after taking it apart. 3 days later I blew everything out with compressed air. 6 months later my friends carb got gummed up so I gave him my spare and took his old one. My spare has been running fine for him about a year now. He is now a true believer in seafoam as I had been telling him to use it. I took my gen to Cummins because it was throwing several codes. It would start but shut right down. Replaced the carb. What it was doing ? when it started the butterfly would stick and the eng would over rev spiking voltage and it would shut down. I now have another spare but using seafoam religiously will prevent this from happening again. Sorry for the lenghly reply but just take youe old one apart and do what I did & I think it will be fine. The reason my orig was gummed up is it had sat for 4 yrs prior to me buying it. Good luck.
