Sounds like you h So, what might be happening is with your starting kicking out, you just aren't getting enough time to get the motor started up for a "first time" start. Sometimes when these are cold or haven't run in a while the sputter a bit & really need to keep cranking until the...

With this being said, what I might do myself to keep the starter from cutting out is the remove the AC output wires from the output so the starter will not see the AC power start to be made. That way you can figure out your engine issue.

Okay, so that rules out fuel. Sorry if I am repeating anything here, but just putting my thought process out there. We for sure have 1 of 3 things then. Fuel. Now, do we have air & compression? Air should be an easy test. I see your air filter is off. Put your hand over the intake as you are...

It's hard to tell in the video, but it did show a sign of life! Have you tried pulling the linkage that sits in the little throttle lever & just getting the engine to start at full throttle with the thumb screw all the way down? The starter kicking out seems strange... That why it was cutting...

kloppk pointed it out before I could. I have made some videos just on adjusting everything you're pointing to because I had all the same issues. kloppk helped me through them as well. I will lastly add that I ended up needing to tighten the black thumb screw down ever so slightly off the...

How long did you let it crank? It takes a while to prime these if the injection lines & pump are empty. Take the fitting off at the injector. Turn the switch to on. Let the electric pump run for 1 minuet. Hold the decompression lever down & crank the starter for 30 seconds. Look for a good jet...

Did you get it running? May just need to bleed the air out. These generators are very finicky but once they run well, they're great. Not sure if it will help any, but I did a bunch of videos on fixing mine up completely.
