Genny starts, runs rough and then cleans up
Wanted to see what others thought. Genny just started acting like this. Fire it up, runs rough for 5-10 min, then cleans up and runs perfect. I have never let the carb sit for more than 1 month...

Thanks Hap.
I have read the expected lifetime of the 5500 is 3500-4000 hours before it needs a rebuild or replaced.
Valve adjustment can be done with the unit mounted in the RV cabinet. I have never done it, but a buddy has.
Strabo, I totally agree with run it like a pony. People that brag about only have 240 hours on their 10 year old genny is nuts. That actually causes more problems than anything.
Genny's are built to be run for lots of hours.
My trailer is 11 years old and I have 1150 hours on it.
