SODAK.. an old one like that could use a shot of carb
or injector cleaner in the fuel..just a spoon full will
do for starts..once it warms up and is running good i
give that needle cleaning wire a few spins around and
that seems to help..a new generator is cheap and easy
to replace if the easy fixs don't work..
like most survival gear it's not a bad idea to strip
it down just to see what it takes to fix it before you
need to do it for real..like a rifle or a battery change
in a light ot radio..
