after going through and cleaning the entire fuel system on my small generator, cleaning the jets, float seal and everything, it was still acting like it wasn’t getting enough fuel. i was sitting and just staring at it, and decided to clean the screen that covers the exhaust pipe again. but this time i physically removed it. turns out its not a screen. its a cone that goes all the way into the exhaust manifold, and was almost entirely clogged.

doh 🙄

but hey its running like its brand new now. 🤷
