Hi,
My Kipor 1000Ti suitcase generator (Chinese copy of Honda) has very pronounced hunting at idle, both with the smart throttle on and off. The smart throttle works, i.e. when enabled the idle revs drop and when off it runs at high revs. The hunting is much reduced with the choke half set which suggests fuel starvartion.
It powers loads OK, and under load the hunting is less pronounced but still just there.
Have stripped and cleaned the carb (twice) inc blowing airline thru it, although it wasnt particularly coked up. Also disconnected the fuel filter and no change so its not that causing a restriction. That also proved that the fuel pump squirts a decent amount of fuel out (across my patio!). It doesn't have many hours on it so there shouldnt be any major mechanical wear and tear in engine components. Have cleaned spark plug and checked gap.
Any other ideas?
Thansk,
