SOURCE: Hello, I'm trying to get an old Coleman Maxa 5000
First make sure you have fresh gas in the tank, as old gas can cause a 'no run' condition. Once you have fresh gas in the tank, make sure the gas flows freely all the way to the carb by removing the fuel hose from the carb inlet & checking for good flow (bad shut-off valve or obstructed hose by debris could cause same problem). Once you are sure that good, fresh gas is going into the carb w/o obstruction, remove the lower bowl from the carb - carefully - do not lose ANY parts, starting with the washer on the bolt. With fuel flow 'ON', fuel should flow freely when this bowl is removed, so shut off fuel valve in the hose. Now, if you carefully remove the bolt / brass tube from the center of this bowl area (center of plastic float) - remove bolt downward, like you would a lightbulb from the ceiling - this bolt should have several holes in the side, they are probably clogged, so unclog them with a needle or wire, wipe clean, and reinstall. That probably just solved all your problem.... if not, you likely will want to replace the carb completely, as it is not very expensive, and will surely solve your problem. *** Be careful with gas fumes !!! ***

My answer:
First of all - Almost every 4-stroke Genset engine out there should use
a minimum 10-30 or else a 10-40 oil blend tops. Best NEVER to use just
a straight weight, as in a 30 or 40 weight, as that would be way too
"high viscous" at colder temps and could destroy the engine due to
overheating at MAX Genset LOADS!
Next - If the Genset is indeed brand new then you need to use the
proper fuel in it, as certain mfr's require different fuel blends (such
as with certain B&S - Briggs & Stratton - engines), and those
engines are set up that way to run on that blend alone. Using the wrong
gas blend could damage the engine.
You really need to get a factory Users Manual for your Genset there and read it through thoroughly!
If it has gas in it now (and hasn't run in 3 years?) chances are the
whole gas tank, and fuel lines, and Carb as well will need to be
cleaned out from contaminated fuel - as there definitely is gum and
varnish built up everywhere in those fuel delivery areas esp the most
important component - the Carb! Been there - seen that - cleaned that!
So I KNOW for FACT.
As for the OIL LEVEL - that is fairly simple - as all you do is unscrew
(or in some cases pull out) the dipstick, and check the oil for proper
level on the stick as well as cleanness (2 finger test like with car
oil), and if it's even black or a silvery color then it definitely
needs to be changed out NOW! Refill with fresh oil and your done there.
Check the Air Cleaner for cleanness as well, and service the filter if a foam element, or replace it if a paper element.
If the fuel tank has an in-line fuel line filter and it looks dirty
change it out as well. Esp if the gas tank is made out of metal.
Check the spark plug for proper gap, and heat range, and burn color if
the Genset has been run already. Should be a nice "light tan" color. If
dark and wet - then you have Carb flooding problems.
That about covers it...
Anything else problem wise feel free to ask me here in post follow-up and I'll be glad to answer it for you.
