Likely a fouled carburetor or water in the fuel bowl. Try draining all the fuel, see instructions in manual.
Take a clean dry fuel container to the gas station and get 1 gallon of fresh fuel. Add 1 ounce of Seafoam fuel treatment. Measure don't guess. Poor entire gallon into generator.
Start generator. If same problem, then carburetor is fouled and will need cleaning. You could try running with the treated fuel and it may clear the fouling. Otherwise a more thorough cleaning will be necessay.
My Huskey 42" had that problem. I believe the motor bogs down too much, when mine tried to die, i'd choke it real fast and it'd catch back up, or just push in the clutch. But I'm pretty sure its a carburetor thing, probly needs cleaning. I put some fuel system cleaner in with gas, and it runs like brand new. Not stabilizer, Cleaner is whats needed. It comes in a 16 ounce bottle to treat 21 gallon tank (for auto) So in a 2 gallon gas can, mix almost 3/4 of just 1 ounce. Try that first
Take 1000 into 3.5 (3.5 divided by 1000) to get how much chemical is needed to treat one gallon. Then multiply that value by 570 to get what is needed for 570 gallons.
I have this machine and it states it requires 4 ounces to 1 gallon gas. This is if you use the i.d.c.oil which is 32:1 it states if other 2 cyc oil is used it requires 6 ounces to 1 gallon fuel. Im trying to add a picture of the machine. I have aryobi 720 sieries. The newer ryobi machines call for the 50:1.
Since my research shows this to be an older unit, I recommend a 40:1 mix. That is 3.2 ounces of 2 stroke oil / gallon of gas, or 1.6 ounces of oil in half-a-gallon of gas. Here is a mixture chart.
