Just pulled the carbs and dumped some of the gas... pumped some gas directly into a cup by squeezing the bulb. small flecks of garbage in each pump. Looks like about 3 or 4 flecks about the size of very small grains of sand. That's enough to cause some trouble I'd say... everyone agree? I'm getting a portable tank and going to see how it runs on that after I clean out the carbs and replace the inline filter. Hope this helps some. Just not sure why it runs just fine without any load up to 5000. Guess it's not pulling quite as much fuel.
