Fuel pet **** came loose from fuel tank...

what type of air filter does it have ,standard of after market power filter ?

remove and let the tank dry out you can then get a product that you pour inside to cure the leak, cant remember the name of the product most bike shops would be able to get hold of it

I am just closing this out. Asker has manual.

SInce the engines now have several different carbs on them we need to know your exact engine model type / series numbers from the engine.
On a standard carb you remove the float bowl, clean out the bowl the Bowl nut or solenoid and ensure the main fuel jet up inside the treaded area of the carb where the bowl nut threads into is not bolcked with s tiny speck of something. (that is all it takes to shut it down)
Then you check to make sure that you have fuel flow from the float needle are with the float bowl removed.... No fuel here and you have a fuel supply problem.... (shut off valve under the fuel tank in the wrong position, fuel fileter clogged or fuel tank outlet port is clogged.)

Check the above.. make sure oil is FULL as full as you can get it and respond with the COMPLETE engine Model number / (all the numbers) if you still require assistance.

Thanks,

Hello, ushicks/me hillybilly. One question how old is the fuel in then generator tank,Hey. If it has a fuel filter replace it. Modern gasoline is junk fuel and after a few months it looses some chemical proprieties. GB...stewbison

sounds like the carb should be pulled off and cleaned.Make sure to clean the jets and needle valve

clean out the cabrateor
clean out the tank

Ok, try and take the bowl off and clean it out with some carb cleaner. Also open the carb top and shoot carb cleaner down it for several seconds repeatedly. If it has never been used it still was started and tested at the factory. It has gunk build up on the nedle and is probably stuck. This happens to alot of carbs even sitting for only a few years. Just take the carb apart as much as you feel comfortable with and spray carb cleaner all through it. Move the movable parts alittle and then try it. It has to work . P.S. Look in the gas tank and see if there is any rust in it. If so you need to pour some deisel fuel in it and sloush it around and dump it.
