My old Generac 3000w genset would invariably refuse to start after sitting for any extended period of time, say 6 months or more. After a couple of "carb overhauls" by repair shops and many $$$$, I got sick and tired of this! Emboldened by THIS THREAD, I disassembled the carb myself, and sure enough, the jet was all clogged up with debris. I determined that the rubber fuel line was deteriorating internally and the "gunk" from the fuel line was settling-out with prolonged disuse. I did two things ... replaced the fuel line with a modern Tygon line (did either of the two repair shops suggest or replace the line? NO!) and put a FUEL FILTER in-line immediately before the carb - Haven't had a problem since and the good 'ole genset will start on the first or second pull even after sitting for 6 months!
(As a result of this experience, I put in-line gas filters in all my mowers, etc., that didn't already have them!)
(This also illustrates one of the benefits of propane conversion for gensets that are infrequently used such as in RV's, etc.)
