It is likely the Carburator could be cleaned out of it was dissembled and any rubber parts replaced. eBay might be a good source of a kit or a whole new Carburator.

The Propane one is intersting as I was thinking last night it would be nice to have a Generator hooked to the residential Natural Gas line. Because the Natural Gas almost never has the issue of not working.

I think the Propane one would only take some changes of orifaces and so on to convert to Natural Gas. Onan is a big Company but of course I don't know if there is any sort of conversion kit to Natural Gas.
