I lent my 2000 to a neighbor whose power was out. He used it for a couple days & returned it after filling the gas tank. I use it a week later and it would surge. Drained the gas & filled it with fresh gas, now it works great.

Mine doesn't after 9 years. Other possibility is he's got something wrong with the new genny. Happens. That's what warranties are for. Take it back to the dealer you bought it from.
