Try searching for a fuel shutoff somewhere near the bottom fuel line exit for the fuel tank on somewhere on the fuel line.

Hi Jimmy,

Here's a link to a YouTube video on replacing a starter rope. It might not be exactly the same as your generator but gives you an idea of what you have to do:

If you search in YouTube for "replacing pull cord + generator" you will find more videos.

Hope this helps!

you have a blocked up card jet strip carb and clean out all jets
check fule flow from tank as well also clean all filters air + fule
best advice on missing hurricanes,,is move away?

measure it

Just noticed your question... If you still need a little help:
1. If the gas is from last year, drain the tank and the carb bowl and replace gas with new. Visually inspect the inside of the tank ..be sure there's no sediment that needs to be cleaned out.
2. remove air cleaner and make sure it's not plugged or dirty
3. plug the spark plug and clean with spray carb cleaner.
4. At end of season, mix some gas stablizer in with the fuel to keep it from going bad while in storage.

Let me know how it goes..

All generators need to be run once a month. All things from the tank to the and including the carb will get gummed up with dried out fuel. I have a whole house generator and a 5500 watt gen set on my motor home. I keep fresh fuel in the stand alone house generator in California in case of a bad earthquake. I drain the gas after every run and keep all vehicles full of fuel just in case. Run gen sets at least once a month or pay pay pay!!

pramac bought them out i just order parts today oct-15-08 call1-800-445-1805 took me awhile to get a hold of someone but she seemed to know what was going on. my guess is that the printed curciut board in the back of the generater head is bad i have had to change alot of these out.

Their should be a twist value on the bottom of the gas tank.( were the fuel hose attaches.
