I am mechanically "special"... where would I find these?
Assuming you can identify the carburetor, try to move anything that looks like it is attached. There are only two items that actually have movement, the choke and the governor (excluding the elevation adjustment on the bottom of the carburetor). I do not have a 5000 but my Emerald 4K Has the governor on the side facing me and is attached via a stiff wire when I am looking at the generator. It is loaded by a spring so it snaps back into place if moved. Assuming it is not sticking. :) The choke has a small "toggle" on the same side of the carburetor. If it moves, work it back and forward a few times and then try to restart. Squirting the moving parts with WD40 (or similar) may help with loosening it if it is indeed sticking.
