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...

Well, now it won't start hot.
The butterfly is completely closed. I don't get it. Ugh.
Which butterfly, choke or throttle ?
I assume choke.
On this engine, what actually causes the choke to open ?
On some it is air flow (engine vacuum).
On others, there is an electric element attached to the choke plate via a bi-metal "spring". When it heats up, the spring opens the choke.
You first need to determine how it is SUPPOSED to work before figuring out why it is not.
