I have a propane 20 KW Generac showing in that displays checksum failed
Embedded processor memory error. The genset processor runs a periodic sum of all instruction memory space and compares it to a known value "check sum". Your unit has failed this test which means processor instruction space is potentially corrupted. This is a fatal error and it will not allow the genset to run until it is corrected. Likely this will require replacing the control board.

I have a standby Generac generator that keeps blowing the 15A fuse. What can cause this to happen?
Does the fuse holder or wiring diagram have the fuse size listed on it ? It could be an incorrect fuse size from the factory or installed by someone who was just lucky the day they installed it and it ran with what is essentially a fuse with too low a rating.
Are you using the correct voltage rating ie 120volts not 12volts or whatever.
IF IF the second fuse works that kinda tells me there is no fatal short in the system, otherwise it would blow that fuse also.
I would try a 20amp or a 17.5amp if it's made in the configuration you need. Preferably the 17.5.
If you replace the 15A with the 20A and it blows then you have a problem.

My generac 2000 won't start
If it has been sitting for awhile since last used, this is a common problem. The fuel has sat and gummed up and clogged the fuel passage ways through your carburetor.
One trick to clear the passages is to try to get fuel into the generator when starting by spraying carburetor cleaner or starting fluid into the air intake of the generator. Sometimes if you can the the motor to run it will suck on the fuel line hard enough to clear out the gummed up fuel stuck in the lines. Caution: if you use starting fluid, just give it small puffs from the can. Too much can blow up the engine or flood the spark plug.

My natural gas 10kw generate
The engine is starting and running too lean, meaning it is not getting enough fuel for the amount of air. You need to post a photo of the fuel system from the regulator to the carburetor so we can tell you where to adjust the fuel mixture.
You may be able to adjust the choke to a richer setting and make sure it works freely. If it has a Rochester type electric choke with the black plastic cover it is easy. There are 3 screws that you loosen and turn the plastic cover in the "rich" direction. It is marked rich and lean.
