Try cracking your gas cap and run it again. If it's not venting properly, maybe it's starving the gen for fuel.
Is it hot where you are? Maybe the tank is so full that its burping fuel out of that lower vent line as the fuel expands.
How many hoses on the tank? If only the one than crack the cap to run generator. If two one may be a vent but you will need someone on hand to eyeball it.
True story: A few years ago I worked the "Haunted Trail" My station needed power and a Honda EU-2000i was the source.> Well it ran for a couple minutes and died, Ran for a couple and died The park folks were busy not going to the barber (Tearing their hair out) when I fixed it for them.. Without touching it.
"Did you open the fuel tank vent valve in the cap?"
A very red faced park "Technican" then opened the vent and it ran for hours.
