Make sure that the spark arrester screen on the exhaust isn't plugged with carbon. It takes just thirty seconds to pull it out. If it is clean, then the fuel filters are the next step. Hope that helps. Rod

Remove the starter and bench test it with auto booster cables /put the black on the starter case and touch the stud on the rear of the starter. It should spin rapidly and the drive should advance if neither happens the starter will need rebuilding or replacing. if the starter spins rapidly but the drive does not advance you may only need to replace the drive.

it's sound like it need ajustement on carburator because choke only make the mixture air/gas more rich. Or if it's very cold outside sometimes you have to wait long before out it in normal position. That do to the density of air ... if the adjusment have been made in 25C in summer and now is -15c outside the air is more dense so the motor need a mix more rich.

First of all check to see you have a good spark, If it is running fine under load ignition should not be an issue. If un burnt fuel or over fueling causes the oil / gas to wash down the cylinder walls. I would also perform a leakdown test not a compression test, remove the dipstick and listen for air coming out the crankcase, that will give you an idea if you ahve a ring problem. Also remove the air filter and see if you have any blow back from the carb blowing out where the choke butterfly is. If it has less than 150 hours on it, the rings may also not be seated in, try the above then run it hard on load and check it again

fuel pump, fuel filter or carb

Check fuel filter.

starving for fuel. the generator will always rev up when it is under a load or about to run out of gas. there will be a few adjustment screws on the carb... one for air and one for fuel. try increasing the fuel a quarter turn and see how that does

Remove the rope housing, wrap the new rope on by hand, replace the housing.

It may be old fuel and the spark plug is fouled.

kva = kilo-volt-amps

watts = volts x amps = va

Therefore, 5.8kva = 5800 watts

i usually do a quick test of a small few onzes of fuel down the plug hole and reinstal plag and see if i9 fire up and run for a lil bit. maybe 5 -10 seconds. now i know i have spark . most usually our wonderful fuel is the problem. its just nasty now. it can stick a needle to the seat. it can hold her open . one way ya flood out. the other ya starv out. give it a try.

no it probably just ran smooky it shold be ok

check air fuel mixture screw on the carb possibly air fuel ratio is not proper adjust it or check if your spark plug is oil wet after a brief run (otherwise should be brownish ) that means oil is leaking in the piston head due to worn out piston rings have to replace them
