    Generator will not start any more
    I have had no issues with my generator until this last power outage. It started to run rough and black smoke then died. So I checked oil. It seemed to have gas in the oil. Very thin. It was pouring out when I checked it.
    My question : Can gas get in the oil? What seems to be my problem? Any help would be appreciated.

    I have drained all oil out but have not done anything else yet.I think I need advise first.
    I hope to fix this before the next outage.
    Thx

    Sounds like needle valve in carb is stuck.
    Removed carb check or replace needle valve.
