Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

   I have a small 350 watt 2-stroke Honda generator. Its probably a discontinued model and most likely the only two -stroke honda ever made. About the size of a lunch box, Its always started on first pull, and has been very reliable for several years. It started to get hard to start and then would die after running awhile. Before it quit completely it would only run on slow speed. I replaced and gapped a new plug.  It has a good spark, seems to feel normal when pulling the rope starter. It will not pop off at all even with starter fluid in the cylinder. A friend told me it probably had an air leak or broken reed valve. Can anyone give me some pointers on troubleshooting this little two-stroke beast?
