Glad you resolved your problem and let the forum know. Unfortunately that solution probably meant fewer bucks in your wallet as well. I assume this was not just a bad carb from the manufacturer. You want to try to ensure this does not happen again by exercising the gen at least once a month for minimum 1 hour, under at least half full load if possible, so the fuel does not start to break down in the carb bowl etc. Load it with the air conditioner in season and use an electric heater off season for a load. I use fuel stabilizer in Fall (add to the gas tank) and then run the gen through a minimum 1 hour cycle to get the stabilizer into the carb. I also run the coach engine for a while as well. My old 2013 ACE (built 2012) survives occasional -40C = -40F and a long Winter nap, but so far has come out every camping season with good starts on both gen and engine. Seems to work for me at least.
