>>151325Also, more out of my own curiosity... but what kind of fuel were you running in there?
Mine runs pretty poorly on 91oct premium fuel. Misfires at higher loads, and when it revs up it blows out a bunch of carbon buildup out the exhaust. Put some 85 octane in there and it runs like a boss all night long.
I'm guessing since its such a low-compression engine the spark plug doesn't fully ignite the mixture making it run rich and push some unburnt fuel out the exhaust. Lower octane is a little more volatile and easier to ignite.
Protip #2: The "best" fuel to run in an engine is the lowest octane that doesn't det (or ping, or knock, or whatever you want to call it).
Higher octane fuel isn't necessarily better fuel. Octane rating is simply gasoline's resistance to preignition.
>>151355If I didn't do the labor myself, there's no way I could afford to keep and ride a snowmobile and dirt bike. I like to know that my generator's going to start up when I ask it to, and so far it's never failed to perform. A little bit of maintenance (like starting it every month or two) goes a long way towards making that happen.
