I usually run my generator within the first week of each month, but have fallen behind this month. Thanks for the reminder. It's also a good time to think about your fuel. While I use stabilizer to extend the life of the fuel to two years, I generally cycle my fuel on a 12 month rotation by using it in my suburbans to make sure my gasoline stays fresh in storage. It is also important to note that rules limit gasoline storage at home to 25 gallons in Department of Transportation approved containers holding no more than 5 gallons total capacity in each container. I keep my lids a little loose to prevent a build up of gasoline vapors in the container.
Stay Safe.

Runs on starter fluid but not on gasoline. I am betting on a fouled carburetor. I have a little something to do later...On my earlier post, the observant reader would notice the sample breaker is 30 amps and not the required 50 amp. ALways double check your part numbers! ;-)73Dan KJ5IZK
