Have above generator in quite good condition apart from badly rusted fuel tank and damaged needle valve. Needle valve was firmly stuck with a lot of grunge and I couldn't take off the float to get to the needle valve without wrecking the wire which the float pulls on to drop the needle down when the bowl is filling.
All the passages are full of gooey rust and crud. It's a 2012 model gennie and previous owner said it was only started twice and stored all these years without draining the tank.
Anyway might be able to get away with just a new needle valve and a bit of micro-cleaning but suspect if a replacment carb can be found it would be better option.Of course there's no numbers anywhere to be seen except "4" inside the float bowl.
Distance between centres of mounting bolt holes is 42.5 mm.
Photos attached, hoping someone can tell me it's a XYZhangWang and is identical to a GXYZ Honda carb.
My main concern it has an automatic rpm system and would be great to not have to rejig that to suit replacement carb with a slightly different throttle lever.
Thanks Max, That first one looks close enough. I have cobbled up non-original carbs onto many cars, motorbikes, mowers, mulchers - just a matter of the right spacing between the mounting bolt holes, the right inlet bore and getting the jets right but with a 2000W genie I'm wanting to have the auto governing system working spot on as it will be mostly running unattended.
Dunno if you ever saw in my Introduction posts to ODK what abominations I do with my mower carb controls, usually getting rid of any governance altogether and converting them to manual -
Interesting post MM and the link to all the mowers ,I've had multiples of all of those mowers you showed and still have too many mowers now.
I had another quick look for a carby and this one below was about the closest but throttle butterfly is working the wrong way.
Sometimes you need to change wording for better search results ,for some reason searching (pump carb industrial power tools) worked better.
The old days you just went to a mower shop with the old carby but these days they say we don't stock parts and order in bulk for free postage and can't tell you when they will order the part or when you will get the part ,that's if they want to help but now just say they don't stock the part you are after.
