Nice diagnosis, Hank. Interesting that an infinitesimal piece of grease or dirt can completely render the engine inoperable. I'll bet the customer was thrilled.
Honda carbs are such a pain to work on as it is, but that setup in the generator takes that to another level of ridiculous. Great job fixing that one Hank, I don't think I would have had the patience.
I think that this machine has a sediment bowel that's connected to the fuel line somewhat deeper into the machine. In order to get to it you got to remove the air box and look for the fuel line. I think it unscrews from the bottom then you clean the bottom bowel out and reinstall.

Thank you so much! We can return the new carburetor we just ordered. We had the exact same issue.
Thanks for this video!
Thank you for the visuals before I took it out. Exactly the issue mine had (w/only about 2 hours on the thing). It's purring like a kitten...

Carberators are useless.
