Following a Long PRIMING today I pushed *start* and it fired right up. A couple of little hick-ups and I chose to hold the butterfly 1/4 open for an extended time, as in 5+ minutes as it continued to run fairly smoothly. Took CARB CLEANER and sprayed it in until almost dying, stopped and let it get back to idle. A few more sprayings and let it run until nice a warm then flipped the 2 breakers and 50AMP SERVICE resulted. Another 10 minute idle then both roof air conditioners PLUS water heater PLUS fridge with 30amps showing and RUN IT DID!!!
THANKS AGAIN and another check-out tomorrow hopefully will turn out OK.
