cHAMPION GENNY mod 75537i UPDATE PG 2

Have a 3100 watt champion genny inverter about 4 years old. had it in storage for a few months with STABLE in about 1/4 gallon of gas. drained all the gas from tank and carb and added fresh. took plug out and cleaned it up and reset gap. (plug only had about 15 hrs on it)
tried to pull start and nothing..... no sputter or even a attempt to start..... Anything else I can check or do to get it started before having to take it to a repair shop?

Thanks for any suggestions and help.

    Just for curiosity sake.. You said Stable (Stabil). Which one? If you say RED, that is the wrong answer. Only BLUE MARINE STABIL will prevent phase shifting of weasel pee gas, not RED.

    You probably have a load of snot in the carb if you used red.

    Might as well run Pemex. It's as good as domestic weasel pee.



    YES I USED THE RED STABIL,,,,,, NOW WHAT??????/

    Your other issue (even if you used BLUE MARINE STABIL is you had less than a full tank of gas. You always fill the tank all the way up to mitigate moisture and phase shift.

    Recheck the "usual suspects" the work you did. The spark plug for accidental crud bridging the spark gap.
