Harbor Freight 61169 is the discontinued 2500W/2200W inverter
generator. If anyone here has one, could you tell me if the hole in
the left side of the carburetor above the G in RUIXING is open or
plugged?
I poked around on youtube and mostly found reviews... There was one
video on converting it to propane though that you might find of
interest:

The kit came from:
http://www.motorsnorkel.com/
Might be part number 3103. The rubber gasket worked but wasn't an
exact
match for this generator. He had to stretch it a little to get the
holes lined up.
There was a couple spots where you could sorta see the left side of
the
carb but I don't think it shows what you want.
Video is 11:42 long and download was 44mb.
I liked the kit. It is a thick rubber washer that goes in between
the
carb and air cleaner. Uses a couple of regulators for propane. Guy

it cost him $231. Ouch! but propane would be nice for intermittent
generator use...
I know your band-width limitations, so I tried to add some details
in
case you hadn't seen this and were interested

Thanks. I used up most of my monthly 1.5GB cellular internet
allotment searching, and am back on dialup. That's the disadvantage
of having antenna TV instead of cable.
This shows the small hole into the idle air passage on the right
above the larger blind hole. The other brass-plugged manufacturing
access hole is obviously yellow.

The company name ruiXing and model 127 are identical. They didn't
answer the phone in person or call back. I can leave the hole
plugged during storage since I remove the side cover to check the
oil before starting anyway.

I just looked at the very similar carb on a 6.5HP 212cc Predator
engine. That hole was never drilled although the boss has an
indentation there to center a drill bit.
