Honda Generator EU2000

We recently bought a new Honda generator. The first time we used it all was well. A few days later we used it again. This time the generator RPM oscillated the entire time we used it. The only way I could get it to run smoothly was to apply the choke about halfway. Even after the generator was all warmed up it would oscillate without the choke applied. Any ideas on what will cure this?

I am FIRM believer in the deadpan. Mine was doing the same thing and seafoam cured Mine. By all means try it.

LOL...do not add Seafoam! Do not add a snake oil. If it's new, take it to your dealer for them to determine why its running lean.

Is it brand new? If it is, take it to get the carb cleaned. If it is new to you, but preowned, clean the carb. The emulsifier tube is partially plugged.

Edited to add, the Seafoam just might cure it. I put it in every time I fill mine.
