I'm not implying that you did this, but if the carburetor has any fuel left in it and it's allowed to sit for a while it may collect moisture due to the alcohol content in the gasoline. This causes the jet to become partially clogged with the materials created by the gas. When shutting down the generator, shut the gas of first if your done using it for a while and let the gas run out. I'm on 5 years with a 3500 watt and the two 2000 watt inverter generators. No issue, yet. My brother owns a repair shop, and he replaces carburetors all of the time with this same complaint.
Hey MrRchitty, thanks for the reply. I thought about that too that it might have been the jets gummed up from letting gas sit. But I'm pretty careful about that and always shut the gas off and let it run dry before putting it away. I doubt it was from that, but hey who knows it definitely could have been. I'll put the new carb on and see what happens.
