I have had that problem. It was a dirty carb. Although I've had good luck with Seafoam, I've had even better results with Sta-Bil Marine treatment to clean up dirty carbs. Not the old pink Sta-Bil, this one is dark blue-green. It has a storage dosage and a clean up dosage. And it works! It fixed my 2000 right up.
PS: Yes, this could happen with 10 hours on it. If the gas sat it in for a month or so. It does not take long with these things.
Thanks for the advice. I have plenty of Sta-Bil, but use the red stuff, guess I'll try the marine bottle next time I do some generator running.
I can't say enough about the marine Sta-Bil. (And I hated the pink version with our ethanol gas.) I won't need to buy Seafoam again because the marine Sta-Bil works better than Seafoam. Just recently I've revived two lawn mowers that barely ran. Put in the clean up dosage of Marine Sta-Bil, run it, let it sit a couple of days, run it, let it sit, etc. In about 5 to 7 days, they ran like new.
