I ran my littler generac Home Depot special for 40 days straight after Laura. The only I shut it off was to change the oil every 40 hours. So about ten minutes of down time for every 40 hours of run rime. I did have a box fan blowing on it the whole time.
I am having some issues starting my Ida Generac Special.
I left some gas in it.
I can get it to turn over but it runs for a few seconds and then stops when it switch it to run.

Check the fuel valve or fuel filter. See if it’s flowing gas. Otherwise, it’s def your carb

Have to clean the carb. Should only be held on by two bolts. Take the float cover off and spray carb cleaner or brake cleaner in the jets. Easy to do. I have to do this every season.

Same happened to me. Not sure if it is the same issue, but I let mine run for quite a while on choke and then switched it over. Hope you get it working. After that, I keep it a little bit of fuel with stabilizer in it and crank it monthly.
