Thank you so much for an excellent instruction video. I stupidly left a new Generac 5500 sit with stabilized gas in it for about 4 years. I tried to remember to start it up about every 4 to 6 months, and of course it slowly became harder to start, then it would only start if the choke was off, and then only if I used ether starting fluid. Finally, as I prepared for hurricane Debby, it would only run for about 10 seconds (on the ether fumes). So, I drained out the old dark yellow gas from the gas tank, lines, filter and carburetor, and flushed out everything with fresh stabilized gas. Pulled the spark plug, changed the oil, and still would not start. You noticed that I kept avoiding pulling off the carburetor. Then I found your video. Well done. What you managed to do was to give me confidence that I could break down and clean this carburetor. As soon as I opened it up the problem was obvious, there was corrosion on the main jet, and the end of the main bolt. The main jet was totally frozen in place. Poured some Kroil penetrating oil on top of the main jet, and finally after about 2 hours, it loosened up. I soaked the main jet, atomizer, and the main bolt in Kroil overnight, and then cleaned everything with Seafoam. I then put it back together and reinstalled it (with confidence). Started on the first pull! I let it run for a half hour under load, and I am ready for the hurricane season, thanks to you.

This is exactly what I was looking for. This will be my first mechanical fix… ever! My gp5500 won’t start and I’ve tried everything my limited skills know. Checked the carburetor plug, the fuel was drizzling out steady, the oil level was good, and tried to run it and it started for a quick second then stopped. Did this several times with carb fuel to help kick start it but it dies quickly after starting. So, I think I will try following your video since I just found it and it’s so greatly detailed. However, I do not have a parts cleaner. Do you recommend just using carb cleaner and a soft brush to clean it? Thanks

I would use brake cleaner, less harsh on the plastic bits. Just make sure when you spray into one orifice, it comes out cleanly from another.

I have a Generac RS7000E. Just followed your video and cleaned the carburetor. (Great video by the way. VERY helpful!) It still won’t start. I followed another video suggestion and unplugged the low oil shutoff sensor to see if it was defective and preventing it from starting but that didn’t help either. Any suggestions?

A couple of thinks to try... squirt a little fuel directly into the carb throat. If it sputters and coughs a bit, you've confirmed spark and compression. The problem is fuel flow. Start with the basics: spark, fuel, and air. Thanks for watching.
