What does "almost" start mean?
is it turning over?
pull rope or does it have a starter?

make sure gas valve is open, and run switch is ON. I'm not a fan of B&S engines. I have a Generac generator with NO problems.Pull start the unit and let run for 5 mins. Turn off. Now try the electric start.If it does not start, you have an elctical problem when using starter. Make sure battery is fully charged before starting. Hope it helps.

Make sure the oil level is at capacity first, then turn off the generator power breaker bar that allows power to flow to the recepticals. The generator must be started with no amperage draw until warmed up. If this does not help, then there is a problem and likely the unit has been overloaded and needs servicing.

1. One of the most common reasons for a generator not starting is battery failure
2. Without radiator coolant, the engine will overheat very quickly, resulting in mechanical failure and engine failure
3. Poor fuel mixture, the fuel system may be supplying too much or too little fuel to the mixture. Therefore, normal combustion in the engine is not possible.

if it doesnt turn over how did you test the spark?

if i have read it wrong then always try a new spark plug, these can fail under compression but will spark happily outside the cylinder.
if it wont turn over then it could be siezed or dropped a valve.

If it was installed only five months ago, it should still be under warranty. Call Home Depot and have them send out a repair person.

Hi

Check the spark at the plug,the compression and carburation.Check and clean the gas and air filters.Disassembly thr carb and clean it with compressed air.Change the gas from gas tank and start the engine.
