Make sure fuel tap is turned on. Tap the bottom of the carburettor with a wrench to make sure the float isn't stuck. Is the ignition on/off switch in the on position? make sure the oil level is ok as these usually have a low oil cutout which stops the motor when oil gets low. All that being ok give it full choke and it should start. Remove the sparkplug and check there is spark across the electrodes. (earth the thread part of plug on motor) If no spark replace the sparkplug.

ajust the float in your carb (bend the brass tab in that the top of the needle valve touches)and clean this needle valve. the bowl can be removed with a 7/16 box wrench on the bottom brass nut that is also a needle jet (clean this jet ,some models it is just a jet, others it is ajustable and needs to be 1 turn out to start then ajust wile running hot untill it stops surging) the problem is not allowing enough fuel to fill the float bowl

I'd say your battery in the generator is going bad or bad. They are very small and do not hold a charge for very long. The noise you heard was probably the starter shaft hitting the flywheel cogs. I doubt any harm was done as long as you did not repeatedly try to start it with the key. Why Honda put a battery in these is because they are intended for use in a campground setting, where they would be used on a daily basis and the battery would constantly charged. Whereas people like us buy them for emergencies only, they sit for long periods, and the battery goes flat, and the fuel clogs the carb and we get the surging issue. That's my 2 cents. When I brought mine home new, I Sta-bil'd the heck out of the gasoline, this past winter, on start-up, the unit surges. Of course the battery was flat.

This sounds like the timing is off. Remove the spark plug and pull the cord to see if there is less tension. If there is less tension then you know that the pull cord is fine. Do a compression check on the cylinder, it should be around 100psi. Remove the valve cover and check to see if valves are moving when your pulling the cord. The valves could have came off the rockers.
