I just went through this rodeo with the same Yamaha and agree 1000% with the above statement.
OEM replacement parts for fuel system parts ran ~ $75 and I provided the labor. As an additional note, the fuel outlet on the bottom of he gas tank is where the fuel filter is located. The filter is NOT separate from the fitting and is most likely clogged as well if fuel has been left in the tank. My $75 cost included a new fuel outlet fitting.
The earlier reply stating replace the carb it is cheap is no correct, A new complete carb assembly is $180+++. Fairly expensive in my book.
Lastly, I am NOT a fan of the Yamaha generators simply because their warranty and dealer network is a joke. Hondas for me from now on.
