I have a Champion 3500/4000 that lopes badly at idle. It started doing this after the main jet became plugged. When it was plugged it would not run at all unless gas was sprayed directly into chr carb throat. The main jet was pulled and cleaned as was the brass spool piece behind the main jet. Now it starts good but it lopes badly with no load. It smothes out with about 500 watts load and runs good until about 2000 watts. A couple of calls to Champion tech support said to clean the carb. I am telling you, there is no cleaner carb than mine! I have pulled it twice and completly dissassembled it and cleaned every surface and port with carb cleaner.
I have rectified the problem by screwing in the black plastic travel limit screw on top of the carb but I don't think this the correct solution and it leaves the generator at 64 hz. It goes down to 59.7 hz when load is applied. It just limits the swing that the govenor is doing to the throttle plate.
Please any ideas will be appreciated. It is a C46540.
