I just noticed that you gave us more pertinent detail. It’s in “ Metarie” , there’s two. “Old Metarie” or just “Metarie”.

New carburetor kit from Amazon, about 20 bucks. Change it out and it will work.

Generally someone from Old Metairie would not fail to specify Old Metairie.

Try Google then YouTube. If you still can't fix it yourself after that then turn in your man card.

Are you a damn woman? If not, access carb, remove nut from bottom of bowl, remove cub on bottom of carb, remove gas line from carb attachment, spray w-d40 into gas inlet on carb with spray can using red tube, repeat several times, place carb cup back on (bolt and tighten, reattach fuel line to carb, start engine.
Be a man!

Might be too gummed up for this to work.

But it doesn’t matter. He’s a soy boy and will just pay someone to get it fixed.

What I hate is these are exactly the type of people that complain things are too expensive nowadays. Yeah, if you pay someone to do ever little thing for you.

Same issue as you.

I have one of those small gas Generacs with 8000 watts. Left old gas in there too long. Tried cleaning and spraying starting fluid, but it will not stay running. It will die after a few seconds when trying use starting fluid.
