I am having trouble getting my 5500 Onan gen to start. I have read the problems others have had and none of them match mine. I have stableized gas getting to the carb, filling the bowl, prime pump works fine. The gen will start and run fine if I pour gas into the carb, but will only run for a few seconds. It will also keep running if I continue to spray starting fluid into the carb. I have removed and cleaned the carb, removing the bowl, cleaning the jets, etc. There is a needle valve on the bottom of the bowl with electrical leads attached, that allows gas to travel up the center tube and the needle can be pushed up and down by hand so it is not stuck. I have no way to check if it works, or if the circut is good. The local dealer is telling me I need to buy a new carb, I do not beleave that. I have been running the gen two hrs every mounth. Does any one have any ideas or advice.
