Generator cranking a long time
I currently traveling and have spent a few nights in Walmart. When I try to start the gen, it cranks for about 45 sec before starting. I usually let off it to not overheat the starter. Is this norma...

anything we tell you is pure conjecture.
I am thinking this is a new condition.
So it may need a tuneup.
There could be a faulty check valve in the fuel line some fuel filters have a check valve built in.
If you run it and turn it off and wait ten minutes will it restart immediately or does it crank for the 45 seconds.
I would change the fuel filter if it has one. If not I would buy an inline fuel filter with check valve and install it. It will not hurt anything, it will stop stuff from plugging carb. If that does not work then a tuneup is next
