Honda EU3000is starting, surging issues...
My 3000 is about 10 years old - over the years i've had to rebuild/clean the carb maybe 2x... at the end of this winter (a bad one) i was having starting issues and occasional backfires.. figured i needed to clean the carb again. Cleaned the carb - still no easy start.
What the heck - i need this gen and i use it a lot - i bought a new carb from Honda (63$).. Installed it - started right up, surged a bit but after 10 minutes it seemed to smooth out quite a bit.
Shut it off - now it will not restart.
Checked gas (new gas), opened drain plug, good flow.
Checked spark: decent blue and white
Sparkplug is new but not a trace of gas or carbon - pure white like new, after previously running for 10 minutes.
Still won't start.
Any insight?
I'll clean the spark arrester tomorrow - but really.. could that do it?
Thanks,
Ken
