So I went down to look at the generator. The guy said he was using it briefly and it just wouldn't idle up. They drained the fuel of corse but I was able to start it with what was in the carb bowl. It seemed to idle down but stalled. The govenor seemed to be working so maybe something else. He let it go for 50$, and said it was still outputting power. The throttle butterfly looked good as well as the linkage. I'll mess with it more tonight when I get home. I grabbed it on my lunch break. Any possable ideas for why it wouldn't throttle up? All the springs and linkages look good and seem to move as they should.
