Hope someone has an answer before I shell out money for ANOTHER new carborator. Genset didn't run when I bought my 2014 Winnagago Sighseer, No problem got it a good price and expected to put some money in it. $300 dollars for a carborator and the genset is running perfectly. That was 2 years ago. I start and exercise the genset every month for at least 45- 60 minutes. Last time out genset sarts and runs fine but after about 15 miutes it begins to back fire spit and quits. At first this was only under a load such as AC running. Now it has begun this back fire without being under a load. An RV repairman told me that the carborator was bad again because I should have put in a gas cut off. He said that gas left standing in carb deteriorates the carb and is the cause of the problem. Ever hear of this? I sure hate to shell out for another carborator so soon. I really don't know anything about these genertors but the rest of the coach is perfect.
Doesn't sound like your problem, with it running for that long, but I just recently removed and cleaned out two small engine carbs with great success, when they failed to run at all. Just be sure it's getting fuel first and try hanging a hose into a milk jug of gasoline, to bypass the fuel tank and input hose.
