Help with fuel issue on Genset

Generator runs if I keep spraying carb cleaner in the carb but dies as soon as I stop. Replaced inline fuel filter. Took the entire fuel line off and cleaned it, getting fuel coming out of the end that goes into the carb so I know it's getting some fuel but it is a very slow stream, anyone know how much fuel should be supplied to carb? Any other ideas? Trying to determine if it's the fuel pump or carb.

    IMO the carb cleaner is temporarily running or helping the unit to run. it sounds like a fuel ump or leaking gasket causing low vacuum. Hopefully Generator Guru @Black_Diamond will see this and have suggestions.

    Guru here. lol

    pull the anti-diesel valve off the carb. Clean it and the port it goes into. The needle should freely move by hand.
