Well that's weird. I don't think I've ever seen a carb fail while the engine
was running.My little generator has a real actual carb bowl. I was surprised
when I found that, I figured it'd be more like a Tillotson or Walbro carb on a
snowmobile or chainsaw that has just a small space that acts like a bowl.
A real bowl is way better, it accumulates water and crud that you can dump out
later rather than trying to suck it through the jet immediately.

I ran a 850W (1000 peak) unattended overnight last spring with a freezer
hooked up to it.
One morning I found it dead in a greasy spot on the concrete, started to
refuel it and saw the premix leaking out of the carb at an alarming
rate. Need to pull the float bowl off and see what failed.
