Check the fuel filter and replace it.

There is fault in the fuel settings, you might need to remove and clean the carburator, clean the air filter and also check if the oil is clogged.
Also remove the plug and check for dirt electrode tips, if so the spark plug must be replaced. Set with the correct gap , test for the spark before it is replaced.
Also check if there is impurities on the fuel. The carburator resetting must be done with care and take help if needed.

choke it and pull the cord, if it has set for a long time, you may need to pull the spark plug and put a drop or 2 of gas in the cyilinder, reinstall the plug andwire and it should start.

take out the jets , and run small wire through all holes .should fix your problem

If you started it for just a minute, it never got warmed up and MAYBE the spark plug fouled. Check it first.

Sometimes one forgets where to set the choke for starting. And if engine is already warm from a short run they can be hard to start if too much choke is used and it floods... Again, when you check the plug, if it is wet this MAY be the problem.

To check fuel getting to the engine I have used an UNLIT propane torch into the carb to give an engine a mixture that it can run on without flooding. You usually have to remove the air cleaner to do this. That is a trick I have used for "cranky" engines.

Since you stired up the gas, the fuel filter may have got plugged.

this model has one fuel shut ff switch it's on the tank.if it's turned on then fuel is reaching the carb.
you should check oil level, and check if there is any spark in it.

Remove the air cleaner and spray some starting fluid into the carb. If it starts then ok if not then remove the spark plug and check for spark.
Keep posting until its fixed. Give the model number PMxxxxxx.

vent in gas cap.
fuel filter.
dirt or gum in the carb.???

It is really common for generators and things that are not used really often to have the fuel turn to varnish in the gas tank, and carburetor. If it smells like really old fuel, you may be in for a tough time, but before you give up, pour out all the old fuel, and replace it with clean fuel. Then try to choke the engine as you normally would. If it does NOT start and run normally, take the spark plug out, and dip it into the gas tank and quickly put it into the engine, and re-attach the wire and give it a pull. It should hit a few times if you have good electrical fire to the plug. If it starts, kill the engine, and tighten the plug. If it does not start after trying this a couple of times, the carburetor will meed cleaning of the old varnish and jells.
