After charging the battery for several hours it started right up. Another thing is to check the plug gap as there is a difference between the gas model and the propane model. The gap is less on the propane model. I try to run mine every 6 weeks or so after charging the battery when in storage. Run your stove burners first before the generator.

Good luck!
