I just bought a Husky Generator 5000 watt briggs. I bought the floor manual and it did not come with a manual any idea on how much oil and what type to use. Also is there anywhere that I can get a manual?? Thanks

There is some help here but not as much as I would like.

Google
make (model number) service manual (5,000 watt is too vague).

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved to a Briggs Generator category.

Engines only need 3 things to run.

Compression
A spark and the right time
Fuel

When you try and start, remove the plug and see if it is wet with gas? You may have a blocked carb jet.

Check compression.

It actually depends on the environment but you will be okay with 10W30

Your manual says only plug 20Amp loads into each 120 receptical. See manual at: http://bsintek.basco.com/BriggsDocumentDisplay/default.aspx?filename=fequxHX-nfBhU7y

that would be 4 recepticals tmes 20 = 80 Amps'

80 Amps times 120 V = 9,600 Watts This means that you cannot hook up all 4 outlets at the same time as that would overload the generator all you can hook up would be 2 outlets of up to max of 23 Amps

The manual restricts you to each load no more than 20 amps because some devices such as drills, water pumps exceed their running load upon start up, and would exceed the 20 Amps momentarily, thus 23 amps.

The maximum power load of the generator is 5000 watts and 20 amps at each outlet.

You certainly are within the useful range.

Volts time Amps = Watts

Try removing the spark plug and rotating the engine by hand.
It could be just a little corroded from shipment over the ocean.
But once you have it loosened up and the oil circulated, it should start much easier.
Make sure it has oil in it, because sometimes they drain the oil before shipping.
You could also have someone else try the starter rope. A new engine can be hard to start.

20:1 that's 1/4 pint to a full tank of fuel.
