Since it tried to start there's a good chance you have spark. I'd make sure anyway. And, you say you saw fuel but, I'd confirm anyway. Make sure the pump is working and you're getting proper fuel.
Question.. Once you got home from the trip where you ran the generator for three days, how long was it before you started it again? If it was within hours I would be a little less suspicious of the carb. My suspicions would go to the electrical system of the generator set. If something like the voltage regulator is shot the generator wont run, with the switch released. On mine it was running great then it wouldn't start except while holding the switch down. It was the voltage regulator. I had previously confirmed that I had spark and that there was plenty of fuel coming from the pump. I also felt pretty comfortable that the brushes were clean and in good working order.
