How did the old generator bite the dust? How many hours are on it?
Tech told me it has internal issues. Backfires, white smoke. Only 220 hours.
Oh please! I have the same genny (1999 model) with over 1800 hours on it. Chances are yours is just broken in, it's not biting the dust unless someone did something really dumb which would be hard to do since it has basically sat around all its life. If it has compression, chances are the carb is dirty or it has some other, simple, easily repairable problem.
Get another techs opinion or apply yourself and fix it yourself.
