On most Coleman generators, there is a rubber seal that literally evaporates if left in time. Most people don't even see it because it has gone. You must check if any seals are missing. Make sure that the gas regulator is screwed as tight as it can go because if it isn't, it will leak like a sib. Last problem could be the open and shut valve is stuck which is another thing that happens when it sits over time without using it. You need to start it up and hold the choke and that will stop the leak and let it run for a couple of minutes and let go of the choke. It should open and close the valve with no problems after that.

I have an Onan 6.5NH-3CR generator in my motorhome. It will not start, but the fuel pump continues to cycle until the fuse is removed. Any suggestions?

You likely have a break/leak in the line between the fuel pump and the gas tank. It may likely be right adjacent to your fuel pump. This scenario causes an air leak and doesn't allow the fuel pump to retain it's prime so it cannot build up pressure to actuate the auto shutoff.

My troy built 7000 generator is leaking gas. I replaced a gasket but it is still leaking. HELP!!!

With generators sitting long term not use carburetors tend to get gummed and need a good cleaning and depending how bad this gumming and corrosion is either a carburetor repair kit or carburetor will be needed.

It best to use a good fuel stabilizer in the fuel for short term storage and for long term to shut the fuel flow off and run the generator until it uses up the fuel in the carburetor.

Generator is leaking gasoline out through the carburator when not running. Also, fuel shutoff valve at bottom of gas tank will not shut off completely. What are probable causes and price to fix ??

Most often fuel leaking out the carb is caused by a needle and seat problem in the carburetor / the float level shaft screw may have come loose due to the vibration of the engine ,this will cause a leak issue with the needle and seat as well. To complete the repair the carb will have to be removed and cleaned. Replace the needle and seat if necessary an then replace the carb.

Fuel leak

Have you tried to tighten the generator onto the valve assembly using pliers? This worked for me.
