I bought a new Briggs and Stratton 8500/7000 generator about 1 1/2 years ago to provide power for a construction project. Always ran non ethanol gas treated with stabil. When the project was complete, I stored the generator in a shed and turned the fuel shutoff valve off and let the engine run out of gas. About 4 months later I tried to start it and it would not try to start, no smoke, no sign of combustion. I checked out the fuel system and found that the shutoff valve was totally blocked by rust. It is a steel body valve. I cleaned the valve out and it ran fine. If you live in a humid climate and have a vented gas tank, water will condense inside the tank, and settle to the low point, which is probably the fuel shutoff valve. I am going to have to replace the steel body shutoff valve with a brass valve. I am glad that I discovered this problem in a non emergency situation.
