My generator is having issues again. We used it over Memorial Day weekend and it ran, but not without issues. The O ring on the needle had somehow gotten damaged and I replaced it. I have not been able to get the generator to hold a load since. It will start (sometimes) but will run very rough not get up to speed.

I pulled the carb and made sure that there wasn't anything plugged. I tested the coil per the manual and it seems to be within specs. I jumped the 5 and 9 posts on the board and the fuel pump seems to be working. The plugs look a little black but not bad.

I was going to check the points, but when I removed the cover I found that there are none. It looks like it has an electronic ignition (not Pertronics) so I'm not sure how to check the timing. I do have the old points in the parts box as well as a replacement set of point. I may replace the old points to rule out an issue with the electronic ignition.

Let me know what you would recommend to try.

Thanks for the help!
