I was having a starting issue with my Chonda engine on my Westinghouse generator. I watched some Youtube videos and figured it would be easy enough to clean the carb. I got the carb off easily and when I went to remove the bowl using an appropriate-sized Phillips head with almost no force the screw centers stripped. At that point, I found a replacement carb for $30 and figured that was just easier to replace it than keep messing with the old carb. At that point, I had nothing to lose, and when I tried to take out all the rest of the screws every one of them stripped. The new carb is on and it runs beautifully.
Is this typical with say a Honda or BS engine or just a feature of the cheaper built engines?
