Genset in 2001 class A Motor Home . Check out, Spark plugs Not fireing, pulled plugs, hard black build-up acrost plug tip. cleaned plugs. Genset ran short time, quit. Pulled plugs, same fouling problem. Pulled bowl of carb. Fine black particles of fuel hose. cleaned carb. installed plastic see through gas filter using fuel hose for fuel injection. I would not have Known what to look for, except for having a fuel hose problem on My B190 about a week ago. Thank God that genset was the slide out type.Still not the type of thing You want do late on a Sunday evening. " TECH. TIP' YOU CAN USE A WELDING TORCH TIP CLEANER TO UNPLUG THE VERY SMALL PASSAGES IN THE CARB. A tip cleaner coasts about $4, and will save the price of a new carb. A little mechanical skill helps ,along with a can of Carb. cleaner with the little red straw.
