You said it ran fine a couple of months ago, do you exercise it regularly? it's recommended- especially with ethanol gas, to run it monthly under load to keep the fuel lines and carb from varnishing. That said, no power to start sounds like a battery issue, not a fuel supply issue. Are your batts fully charged? Battery disconnect off? Can you jump it to test it? Is it getting spark?
Hey there Waytoroll,
Yes batteries are at full charge and I did jump start it directly. Fired right up! Generator will not remain running if I remove jumper cable., telling me it has something to do with the Rigs electrical makeup? Nothing wrong with Generator! I appreciate all your posts! I've found a Company called Atlantic Emergency Services, who has offered to step up & assist with diagnosis of this issue. Because we have got to get on the road to Lansing, NC! Again Much Appreciated! Semper Fi, Mac & Elizabeth
