I have the same generator in my mh. 1800+ hours on it and it has been very reliable, that is until about 3 weeks ago. Tried to start it for it's monthly maintenance run. Would crank, but wouldn't start. Sounded like fuel pump wasn't getting gas. Changed oil to be sure it was at correct level. Still no start. Anyway, went on camping trip last weekend and when I pulled into campground, decided to try the generator to run a/c, because it was hot, till I could get to hooking up electric. Pushed the button and it fired right up.
My suspicion was that the gas pickup in the tank may have been clogged and that the drive to the campground shook the debris off.
The only other suggestion is to be sure the battery(s) are fully charged. Mine has difficulty starting if batteries are not fully charged.
