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.

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.
