After reading about Honda's Eco Throttle system available on inverter generators it seems it is not a fuel metering system but a computer controlled speed regulator or basically an electronic throttle. Because the engine of an inverter generator doesn't need to run at a constant high speed to produce the correct 50 or 60 Hz output this generator can run at slower speeds when the load is light. The electronic throttle is the means to make it happen - operated by the computer. The throttle is probably operated by a stepper motor and the power supplied to it likely to be in digital form. I suggest you try and gain a more full account of how the system works before you delve deeper.

I don't know. The air gap isn't usually critical. It needs to be a small gap for best efficiency but must not be so close it will touch if expansion brings it closer at operating temperature. The last air gap I adjusted was on a Briggs engine and that was 0.008", 8 thou which I believe is fairly typical for that type of application.

a good book on smaller generators is clymers manual. you may check to see if that one is listed.

Carburetor is probably gummed up. Try running some "Sea Foam" in your gas, run it until the mix is in the carb and then shut it off and let it sit. I had to let a snowblower sit a week until it dissolved all the gum. If your using gas with Ethanol, this is a common problem. Try finding a station that sells gas without Ethanol or use Sea Foam to keep the Ethanol from breaking down. (It can break down in as little as 30 days).

Hello dear, would you consider buying a new generator? Generator Diesel Generator Cummins Generator Volvo Generator Perkins... If you can start your generator normally, you can analyze the reasons through the following article: Why Diesel Generator Fail to Start Simple Ways to Deal with Diesel Generator Failure Hope it works for you.

if you are using a lead that has a active , a neutral and a ground wire in the lead , there is no real reason to ground the gen set itself the neutral will not be bonded to the frame as that would create a possible short during operation the circuit is simple --active is the power wire --neutral is the return wire from the applications and the ground wire is for dead shorts and to prevent electrocution

undo the fuel line and the mounting bolts and slide it out from under the frame

a GX390 Honda Motor but the used generator stator can be different cannot give more suggestions then measuring the circuitbreaker it can be broken the suggestion 60 mf capacitor can have trouble and electronic modul and bridge rectifier for some other dc connectors the coil diodes inside the stator. several options to go.

As far as I know this generator has not a manual activated valve opener. Therefor the exhaust valve may be stuck in the open position. Spray the valve stem/shaft at both side where it enters the casing with penetrating oil and leave for a while. (Hour or so). Try then to get the valve to move freely by moving the valve up and down. Use pliers but the jaws must be covered with a thick cloth as not to damage or scrape the valve stem. Ps. if the inlet valve moves but the outlet doesn't then the outlet is just stuck and need to be loosened.

will it blow any circuit? if so, the a/c has an electric problem. will the a/c run when plugged into a service power supply?

This generator will run an a/c unit up to 13500 btus and is good for 2800 watts. This is a small generator, the nameplate rating numbers need to jive before overloading the energy supply.

If the generator is an auto stop/start type for standby use, it would seem those solenoids are the reason why fuel isn't getting through. It would be a fairly sensible method of stopping the engine remotely. An auto start/stop generator would need a battery for starting purposes, a battery that would presumably also provide current to energise those solenoids and allow fuel to flow. I suggest you refer to the instruction manual in the first instance...
