Gen will not start ??

General Off Topic
1

Old battery i charged up.Turns over fast.Is there an amperage requirement to get the gen to start??

2

try some ether to get her firing. clean the carb. may have gummed up if ethanol gas left in there too long. pull plug and check spark. should be the same as workin on a mower.

3

Used only non eth.Maybe 5 hours on unit.Will jump it with car batt tomorow and get some starting fluid

Plenty of fuel to carb.Float must be stuck.Runs great when you pour gas in.No time to mess with it bought a new 9000 from Costco.

make sure to run the gas out if it sits more than a few weeks, ethanol is a beast on those!

Joe, when you run one of them let them run completely out of gas and drain the carb bowl! If it has to much gas to run out make sure you put Stabil in it. What kind of motor is it. This video may help you?

Bought the 9000 for $750.Will fix the 13K and just have two of them.When it warms up i will take off the carb and clean it out.It has a Honda motor.

Costco? Total Wine may be the spot to head.

Hey Joe…A lot of times mud dobbers (sp) get into the carb. Was an easy 30 min fix for me…And I use Sea Foam, not stabil on everything!

Looks clean.Did see some of the small holes filled in.Nothing to do with running.
