Had to be modified best in parts

The locking lever stayed in place when in the locking position. After you started the unit and removed the lever from the gasket, it was very loose and the lever and butterfly plate attached to it were free to move with the vibration of the generator. This allowed the throttle stick to move close enough to the propeller position for the unit to run rich instead of idling. I built a spring to hold the latch lever in the open position. This helped solve the problem. When I installed the carburetor, I also installed an in-line fuel filter. After about 6 months, the alternator stopped working, as if I had turned off the fuel tap. I took the nozzles off and tried to clean them but couldn't get the machine to work. I am ordering a different carburetor as it is a cost effective solution. We were able to use the device with our RV for about $2/month for 6 months. I can't complain too much. The original equipment lasted 6 years.

Pros
  • Excellent design
Cons
  • So-so
