Do you guys use Stabil or something in the gas? I'm going to guess they're gummed up from sitting with the el cheapo fuel they sell us nowadays. I put in Stabil most every time I fill the gas tank but if I'm going on a trip I'll give it a good dose of Seafoam to clean it out while we're using it.

I'll be doing this. Good idea. I did get 8 years out of it so I guess I'll spring for a new carb. Can't find it on Amazon though so. Off to Ebay.

Just from personal experience, go on-line to Amazon and buy a new carb. I'm as cheap as the come, infact thought I could use my extended warranty to cover the gen problem, only to be screwed by Camping World, who I'm sure knew that the warranty wouldnt cover it, yet didn't have a problem charging me $175 diagnostic fee! The new carb cost $161. Not only do I have a peace of mind knowing it's new, but also I know how to fix it. It took about 15 min to take off the old and put on the new.

I had the same prob with my son's ATV and after pulling the carb apart and getting into every crack with cleaner, I still ended up taking it to a mechanic. Again, I would highly suggest order a new carb and be done with it. I wish I would have started there? Just my 2 cents?

I have no help for you but it cracked me up when you said you are a cheap bastard! I can relate!! LOL
