Ok, I'm convinced the pickup tube is all there is. And the pickup tube isn't designed to be submerged, because the bottom of the tube is higher than the filler opening.
So ... since it isn't submerged does this mean it always draws vapor, never liquid fuel?
Mine runs nice laying on its side with the intake tube submerged then goes out when I right it. So somehow the intake tube isn't working right.
Where do I go from here? I think Tommu is right, the pickup tube or maybe the generator is leaking air someplace and not sucking burnable vapor. It sounds like I need to locate a parts source then replace the pickup tube.
