Thank you so much for the basic tutorial on getting the generator started. I have a slightly newer Briggs and Stratton model, so you going over the fundamentals helped me get mine started. As it turned out, I did not have the fuel valve open.

Man. Thanks gor your video. Im here in new orleans hours before the arrival of hurricane ida. I know we will lose power. Our neighbors evacuated but offerred us to use their portable generator. Im not familiar with it. Its s black max 6560. I will certainly do what your video explains and hopefully ill get it running

Blessings to you... My brand new predator 1400 is not starting.. Started one time but kept tripping... I change the oil after it looked Milky. I'm going to try fresh gas like you said. I hope that work

I have gone through all these steps and still will not start any other suggestions. I have used starting fluid / carb cleaner / changed the gas / cleaned the spark arrester/ have completely removed the carburetor and checked cleaned it. It starts fluid and even straight gas in the carb but acts like it can’t get fuel. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Not sure how long we will be without power here.

Thank you for the video it helped us alot

Hey thanks for the vid. As a new generator owner here, this helps me feel confident using mine. Also Briggs & Stratton

My B&S 5000 Series Generator started and ran well last month. When I tried to start it today, the pull cord on the recoil starter would not budge at all...not even an inch. It seems like it has locked up but I can't see anything that would obstruct it. B&S riveted the recoil pull cord housing onto the engine, so I am reluctant to use a drill on it for fear of generating a spark. Do you have any suggestions on how to access the recoil rope to check for obstructions?
-
By the way, thanks for your help. I know nothing about engines...except that sometimes you are supposed to mix oil in the gas... Anyway thanks again.

Thanks man and great job . But mine has gas, fire and I had to tk oil sensor wire off to start and put bk on b4 last stall ran great ran outta gas won't start. It was slightly cover due to rain but had good ventilation.. I do not have a screen on mine and am cleaning carb but am out of ideas it's a briggs 5000

Can also the float in the carburetor go bad besides the stuff that you already said that could also give you a problem starting the generator to turn over I also had a hard time but I put cold start and the generator will keep on but then it was shut off is you get a screen about the exhaust like you said is bad or is all futile because I think the owner told me he makes them old few with new fuel after I put inside a tank he told me about it so thank you for the tip the very helpful

Thanks for this great clear video. I bought a used Briggs Stratton portable generator that resembles the one you have in your video here. It is several years old but only been used 2 times but it has been years since it has been cranked. The gas tank was dry when I bought it so I know the gas is new and not a problem. It starts fine but only runs for about a minute or two then shuts down. Any thoughts on what that problem might be?
