Collapsing fuel line due to either a partially clogged filter or a decayed/soft fuel line. Sometimes a collapsing vacuum line ffom the crankcase to the fuel pump can cause the same symptoms. You won't notice the collapsed line when the egine is not running, but when running at full load it will then collapse cutting off fuel supply.

Black smoke is a classic sign of running too rich. Too much fuel.
Check your air filter , even maybe run it for a bit with the air filter removed. Check proper choke function , fully open. Check carburetor fuel to air at main jet. Possible wrong carburetor for application.
Google 'black smoke- small engine' for more info/tips.

I know excess gas makes black smoke, oil blue. Check muffler, sometimes engines get laid on their side and fill the muffler up with oil. Is the air filter clear? I have had engines brought in that the air filter was so plugged it would pull air thru crankcase vent. Ran terribly for a few seconds then quit. Thing about single cylinder engines is, every little thing will stop em from running. Goodluck, Godspeed.

Might pull spark plug and spin engine to make sure it turns super free. To rule out generator isn't binding and loading it down. Or something iffy in the engine.

First things first....give it a basic tune up,to .ake sure it's all in proper working order. You replaced the carb, so now replace the fuel filter if there is one, the spark plug, and the air filter. Don't assume any of them are okay. Now, if it still runs like garbage, find out if it's running rich still, or if it's running lean. Get some brake clean or carb cleaner,and while it's running, shoot some short blasts down the carb intake. If it runs worse,it's rich. If it runs better, it's lean. That'll give you a good place to start, and a give you an idea of a diag path to follow.

I had an old Snapper leaf blower I was about ready to junk but I tried one more place and they put in a new fuel line pick up tube and fixed it right up.

Anyone know where I can get a replacement gas tank lid for a Homelite LR4300 generator with a Subaru Robin EY28 engine? just
Have you asked Homelite? Done a Search on Amazon? Don’t forget jackssmallengines either.

Does it run a butterfly governor ? If so make sure the linkage is hooked up right.
