Hello, I am glad to answer for you. If your generator is diesel generator, you can take a few minutes to read the following reasons.
After using a diesel generator for a long time, some malfunctions may occur that will cause the generator fail to start. If diesel generators fail to start, you can analyze the causes from fuel system failure, electric starting system failure, insufficient compression pressure in the cylinder and the low ambient temperature and other factors.
1. Air in the fuel system
2. Fuel Line Obstruction
3. Fuel Filter Clogging
4. The Handle Position of Fuel Injection Pump Is Not Correct
5. Battery Power Shortage
6. Battery Power Shortage

This sounds like a dirty carbureator. Just bad enough that it won't start cold.

Cant start my ust 2300w generator

If there is a spark at the plugs ignition is fine, spraying starter in the intake should allow it to at least fire?? even if you had a carb / fuel issue. I would recommend a compression test and better still a leakdown test to determine if you have weak compression

Sears craftsman 4500 watt generator

Please check the obvious, fuel, filter, do you have a spark at the plugs? if yes then a fuel issue. If it starts with starter fluid spray then it sounds like a carb issue. If it still won't do a compression test

Wont start unless I spray starting fluid in it

There is a problem in your carb, stop spraying the starter fluid! Have it looked at or do it yourself.

My truck turns over, but wont start unless I spray starter fulid. What could be the problem?

Could be blocked fuel filter or fuel pum, does it keep running once you stop spraying the starter fluid, Try also cleaning out the throttle that could be restricting the mix.
