My Briggs 10 HP Generator is outside and covered and wont start. It will run with gas sprayed directly in the carburator throat bit not on its own. I have just installed a carburator kit and a new spark plug, but that did not help. I also drained the gas and put fresh gas in the tank. I usually start it once a month then turn off gas till it starves of gas and leave it like that till next month. What now?

The needle valve on the carbureator float is stuck open or has a little debris stuck in it. You will have to take the bowl off and clean out the seat for the needel valve. A Qtip or small wooden dowel works best.

If your gas is E-10 then there is a strong possibility that the line from the tank is blocked, also could be a filter and even sludge in the gas tank all caused by E-10 seperating and becoming thick.

hate to say this but if you used the generator and put it away with out running the gas out your carburator is messed up and it will never start. It not the plug its the gas which has about 10% suger in it. When you leave it sit for ver like 6 to 10 weeks the suger jams the jets.

I did the same dumb thing I had a knee operation and I forget to run my bike dry before. when I went out to start it. well 500,00 carb job.

Best of luck and sorry I could not give you the button to push and make it better

Hey dont forget to rate us and let us know how well we did.

Do check the oil after it has tried to start. Low oil cutoff would certainly cause the problem. Look for the "lost" fuel shutoff valve... there usually is one.

Your carb needs cleaned out. Tke it off and clean it out well with a good carb cleaner and you should be fine


Btw, I’m available to help over the phone in case u need at https://www.6ya.com/expert/sean_54c3a3dc48a7773c

I hate to ask,is there oil in it?There's a shut off for low oil level,it's to save the engine from starving for oil.

sounds like the float is stuck, how long has it ben setting around? try some carburetor cleaner. spray the carburetor down. empty the fuel tank put fresh fuel with fuel treatment. you may have to remove the spark plug, pull starter string a couple of times to clear out cylinder make sure spark plug is dry put back in and try to start the generator.

first find out if its gas or a igntion problem first take off air filter cover and spray the throat of the carburator with starter fluid it will start if it has fire but if it dies its the carburator problem

if it has a solinoid which has two wires going to the bottom of the carburator two things you should try one take yhe aie filter off and spray some starter fluid in the carburator it should start but just long enough to run out the starting fluid or next take off the starter cover and take off the small wire off the coil that is called the kill switch it should fire if the engine is turning over you just wont be able to shut it off but you will find out that it is the kill switch
