Hello Sam's Customer, We are sorry you are experiencing issues with your A-iPower inverter generator. As with many such small engines as in your SUA2700i, if not used frequently (once per month), fuel in carb is suseptible to evaporation / varnishing. This is further worsened by ethanol fuels as they attract moisture and evaporate more quickly. We recommend starting inverter once per month for 30 min. If not possible, add fuel stabilizer to tank and again run unit to make sure it has circulated through entire fuel system. If storing longer than 30 days, we recommend draining fuel completely. In situations when unit starts but does not continue to run does point to a varnished fuel system. If this happens to me, I clean jet/float/bowl, reassemble, fill with fresh gas and add Seafoam. Either way, please reach out to our service team: Phone: 855-888-3598 (M-F 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM CT); or Email: support@a-ipower.com and they will make sure to help you get this unit up and running. Hope this helps, A-iPower - Milwaukee
