Make sure it has a proper level of oil in it. I've seen them not start if the oil is even slightly low.

From what I've found. It's always a clogged jet in the carb. You need to run a small copper wire (take a wire, then take a single filament from the wire) and push it through the jets and holes around the float.

I've got it down to a 10 minute thing.

Your only bet is going to be buying one.

The rental companies are completely wiped out & have been all summer since most companies learned their lesson last summer & rented units for the entire summer to guarantee them a unit on site.

Hit up your local hardware stores. Last year before the last big one came through we were able to pick up two generators from our local Ace Hardware. While everyone is picking over the obvious places the local hardware stores may have 1 or 2 in stock.

order one online from a local tractor supply and go pick it up . Last minute purchase last year worked out for me but had to drive all the way to hammond to get it.
