Think I Fixed My Generator
My Onan Marquis Gold 5500 would run fine until I took the load off, which caused it to die. When I'd try to restart without a load, it would die within a few seconds. I feared that it was more carbure...

20 acre horse farm, machine shed filled with every gas engine machine known to man. In 30 years have never had to replace a carb on any of them.
I said I add sta-bil to the MH. The same goes into all my carburated equipment during off season. So not sure why you think my lawnmowers wouldn't work.??The big problem with gasohol as I understand it is dissolving rubber hoses and forming a gel that plugs everything up.
Did your state just get ethanol?
Where DO you guys find this info? If it were true all of us that have been running ethanol fuel for years wouldn't have any hoses left!:B:B
This thread is spinning out of control. My intention was to let others know how I solved a problem that I have seen discussed here, not to get into a heated discussion of the gasohol issue. Gasohol was not involved in my problem apparently. I gladly admit that I am not an expert on the issue. All I know is what I read and what I have been told by mechanics that have replaced carburetors for me on my outboard motor and my RV generator. Until I learn more than opinions, I am not taking any chances.
