  • After running flawlessly while I was working inside my RV for roughly 4-5 hours. My genset starts going back to its old habit of running roughly, but this time it comes with an ice cold carb that is covered in gasoline condensation. I have a feeling that this is a culprit, hopefully I will figure it out. After thawing it out it ran perfectly again. Outdoor conditions; (Temp 88F, humidity 78%)

    Did this ever get figured out ? I’m have problems with mine . The choke kicks back and shuts off also seen fuel leaking but don’t from where ?

      Yes I did, the icy carb issue was resolved by two parts, the first by moving the Genset to a move enclosed space, and the second by slightly increasing the temperature of the air passing into the Genset by setting the rod between summer and winter air on the selector. Also this issue only occurs in very hot and humid places like where I live, so in the winter or colder days (below like 75) this issue doesn’t really occur so there is no need for those precautions (of course my Genset is permanently installed inside my RV so the heat in the compartment helps to keep the carb from getting icy at all).
      As for your issue, find that fuel leak and fix it immediately, as fuel can drip onto a hot surface and possibly ignite causing a fire or worse situation. The fuel on the Genset follows a simple path from the input line going into the fuel pump, then the metal line that snakes from the fuel pump to the carb, and then from there, there should be no more possibilities of fuel leaking past the intake. So try and locate when and how the fuel leak starts and then try and localize the area it is coming from. Let me know if you find a general area the fuel is coming from 👌🏻.
      Lastly the choke kicking back is likely it stumbling, check my older videos of this same Genset for when it was stumbling and see if it matches the description you are telling me, if so, you need to calibrate your carb fuel mixture (possibly clean the carb deeply which I have a video on too) and check governor adjustments, and if that doesn’t do it, also check your points and condenser, as well as your electric choke adjustments. All of those work together to make your set run smooth, and if one or more fall out of whack, they can all cause the Genset to bog down and die out. The choke kicking back is a sign of loss of vacuum, so it can just be a sign of the engine not getting good fuel mixture and ignition timing (or plugs, also check your coil too while you are at it) doesn’t hurt to check all these things and make sure your set is healthy and in order.
      Anyhow, I wish you the best of luck, and let me know how things go! Take care and have a good one!
