Just got back from a few days boondocking. I noticed the last day of our trip, when I started the generator, it would miss a little then smooth out. When I got home I checked the spark plug and it was okay, then cleaned the air filter and the engine would still do the same thing. So this morning I reset the valves. Runs good now. I could not find the setting for my Kenowa 4500E model so I set the valves to the specifications that Champion uses. .006 for the intake and .008 for the exhaust. The gen only has somewhere in the vicinity of 75 hours on it, but it definitely needed the valves adjusted. The intake was too loose and the exhaust was too tight.
This thread needed a bump anyway.
