Re: [AFMUG] Generator power supply questions

I wouldn't get too hung up on the presence of lack of presence of ethanol. Sure ethanol will make the fuel more susceptible to water in the fuel, but I think you may have something more simple wrong with the generator like a clogged jet or something. It's able to run OK with no/low load, but as soon as you add a load, it needs to be choked. That is a sign of insufficient fuel for the power demand.

Our gas generator has a fuel cut-off switch, and we use that to shut off the fuel to the carburetor. That way, we run the carb "dry", which reduces the chances of gumming up the jet(s).

So a likely problem is the fuel is old/stabil isn't working or the generator really doesn't like corn?

Would premium fuel help or just skip straight to 0% ethanol?

A bit of choke can mean that it is starved for fuel.  The choke makes it a richer mixture.

Well it starts no problem, it just doesn't like running the UPS without a bit of choke =/
