fuel filter ready for a change?

[David Lynch]

Maybe   Have not serviced it yet.  Last full service 4/26/12.

Keith's suggestion of fuel filter is probably correct. Do you have at least a 1/4 tank of fuel in main tank?

Air cleaner check for nests or some form of blockage, that will give you the same symptom. Possibly fuel pump is not working.

Will do a fuel filter tomorrow

Mine will not start either.  My problem is low 12 VDC power supply to generator - like 8 volts instead of 12.  Been told need 12 volts. Suspect bad terminal connections but cannot find all terminal point locations to check for bad points. Check your supply voltage. Suspect generator needs a steady 12 VDC supply to keep it running and if to low it just shuts down.

Had the set serviced and the electrinc fuel pump was bad.  $300.00 later runs fune.
