Onan 16 hp surging at low idle

I just pick up a 97 416h with 288 hours and is like new. After three days of cleaning she is back together. Runs well but surging at low idle any suggestions. I know I know you like pictures and will post tomorrow !

Just needs a good carb cleaning.

 

Any plugged passages or jets and the surging begins.

you saying you have a 1997 engine tells me you have the piece of crap

emissions carb. ( 146-0697 )

 

they DO NOT want you to rebuild /clean them.

there is no manual that shows the parts orientation / location.

 

thank you. boomer ( the used onan engine parts guy, also NOS and new )

I found an older carb to replace my backfiring miserable thing.
