I agree with the Tech. if the carb. is gummed up, you will never get it clean no matter how much Seafoam you run through it. That will just prolong the inevitable, replacing the carb.
Exercising the gen-get is even more important since ethanol has been added to the gas.
Installing a fuel cut off, and running the carb dry will help when not being able to exercise per Onan's recommendations. Exercising is not just for the carb. though, it's also for evaporating water inside the engine.
