Onan engine? If so, check your fuel pump. It will be located on the engine cowling. You'll see 2 fuel lines, one on top and one on bottom. These are the fuel in/out lines. The line you WON'T see is the vacuum pulse line that hooks to the rear of the pump assembly behind the cowling. This line operates the pump via a vacuum pulse created by the engine.
You can remove the pump mounting screws and the pump will pull away from the cowling a short distance exposing the vacuum pulse line. Make sure it's attached and not dry rotted. If the engine has set up for any extended period, there's a good chance the pump gaskets are "glued" to the pump chambers (internally) by bad gas and not allowing the vacuum to pump the fuel. Onan has (when I was working on them) kits for these fuel pumps and I've installed them successfully, but it might prove to be somewhat tedious if you're not well versed in kits of this sort or not extremely mechanically inclined. But if memory serves, a new pump was priced within reason. Good luck.

Briggs 10 hp on Coleman 5000 generator, runs great for 6 minutes, acts like run out of fuel, stops.

This sounds likely a badly routed fuel line that is getting hot and causing airlocks. The fuel delivery is slow, the gas heats up and vaporizes causing an air lock. You can test by removing the fuel line and with no engine running, run the contents of the fuel tank into a container. Do you have good fuel flow?

Or the float bowl isn't venting via its overflow pipe.

1998f1504.6wtriton runs fine but getting codes 401,171and174check all vacum lines,dpfe sensor,sprayed carb cleaner everywhere,new egr ,egr tube,took off elbow and throttle body cleaned it up no blockage...

Some of these intakes have a channel under the throttle body that supplies flow to the EGR. The channel is below the mounting plate for the air horn. Also clear the computer of old Codes.

Code 171 and 174 mean lean condition. It means more air is getting into fuel mix than is metered through air intake. Try using water spray bottle on all seams and Vacuum lines while engine runs and opening will draw in water and affect RPM.

Use water spray on Brake booster while engine runs. Bad diaphragm will leak Vacuum.

Finally, rear metal tube to DPFE has 2 short Vacuum lines which DPFE fits on. The metal tube goes to Exhaust. Some have a metal ridge on this tube. The ridge can leak Exhaust flow and affect the DPFE readings. Sometimes rust can build in this tube and it may need to be cleaned to restore flow.

Cub Cadet has gas, has spark, has air -still won't start/run

Are you pulling the plug to check for wetness after cranking it a few times, WITHOUT using the starting fluid? Also, I would recommend using carb cleaner in place of the starting fluid. Starting fluid runs the engine VERY hot for a brief time and can possibly damage rings, valves, and aluminum parts.

My 05 Yamaha Grizzly 660 will not start. In my limited troublshooting practice I looked at FUEL, FIRE and AIR. Here is the fault, the engine will not start. I checked wires/fuses, plugs, fuel lines and air...

Sounds like you have a stuck float needle in the carbs (2). Usually after a few days with gas in the carb they will free up, you could 'knock' on the carbs with the plastic end of a screwdriver to help free them up. If not, turn off fuel, drain the carbs and fill them with carb cleaner for 24 hours. Redrain, attach fuel lines and turn the gas back on. If still no start it's time for a rebuild...

My push mower won't stay running.

Change out gas for fresh stuff. Try it. If not, take off carburator and clean thoroughly. Clean the foam filter assembly as well. Make sure gasline and vent line are clear. Also check the vent cap on the fuel tank. Sometimes it can make a huge difference taking out the sparkplug and removing the filter on the carb, then take some carb cleaner and while your buddy pulls the cord, spray some carb cleaner through the carb. It will travel into the cylinder and immediately out the top, so be careful. No danger of ignition because you took out the sparkplug, but you dont want that stuff in your eyes.
