Operating Instructions (Post-Installation)
- Fuel System Priming: After installation, ensure the fuel lines are properly connected and the fuel valve is open. Allow a few moments for the carburetor float bowl to fill with fuel.
- Initial Start-Up: Follow your generator's manufacturer instructions for initial start-up. This typically involves setting the choke, pulling the recoil starter, or pressing the electric start button.
- Choke Adjustment: Once the engine starts, gradually move the choke lever to the "Run" position as the engine warms up.
- Idle Speed: The carburetor is pre-set for optimal performance. If idle speed adjustments are necessary, consult a qualified technician or your generator's service manual.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your carburetor. Always refer to your generator's owner's manual for specific maintenance schedules.
- Fuel Quality: Use fresh, clean, unleaded gasoline. Stale or contaminated fuel is a common cause of carburetor issues.
- Fuel Stabilizer: If storing the generator for extended periods, use a fuel stabilizer to prevent fuel degradation and gumming in the carburetor.
- Fuel Shut-off: Before long-term storage, run the engine until it runs out of fuel to ensure the carburetor is empty. Alternatively, drain the carburetor float bowl.
- Air Filter: Regularly inspect and clean or replace the generator's air filter. A dirty air filter can affect carburetor performance.
Troubleshooting
