Definitely been there, Cindy! Some of the most common generator problems are dead batteries, clogged fuel lines, dirty air filters, and bad spark plugs. Battery issues are usually from lack of its keeping it on a regular start-up schedule helps. If it’s sputtering, check the fuel and air filters. They get gunked up fast. And if it’s not starting at all, it might be a spark plug issue or low oil shutdown kicking in. A little preventative maintenance goes a long way with these things!

Totally agree! Dirty filters and dead batteries have tripped me up more than once. Regular startups and quick checks on oil and fuel go a long way in keeping things running smooth!
