    Took the carb off twice, cleaned main jet, bowl, etc..This is exactly what was wrong. Now I can fix same prob on my generator too. Thank you so much!

      What was your symptoms of why it wasn’t running the first time ? Mines was that it would turn off when choke was off

      That's what you would expect though. It's the age of the gas, not the age of the engine.

    I’m running no ethanol and cleaned the carb twice and will run on choke for a little while but then die if I give it throttle it will run but won’t idle. Do you have any idea why it’s doing that?

      speed will depend on your gear ratio... that said, the black screw he removes in this video li its throttle, try moving that screw out a bit more. :)
