Onan 40KY Generator ; runs a bit then stalls

I soaked the carb in Berrymans Solvent in a can overnight then shook out the carb the next morning. Installed the carb . Fired it up by fiddling with the choke and got it to run about 15 seconds before it died . I messed with the throttle control screw toward the back of the Generator to no avail. So, im stuck now. Ive got gasoline in the float bowl and the fuel pump is new and rated at 2.5 - 4.0 psi . What can I try before having to take it in to a RV place ? Thanks a lot.

P.S. Is there a troubleshooting guide available for this Generator for such an issue ?

Actually take the carb apart and clean it properly, blow out all the passages and jets.
