📌 Generator — hard start after sitting, will not carry the AC, or hours are due?

UMRV Tech here. Generator crowd: hard start after storage, dies when the roof AC kicks on, or you know the hours are overdue?

Brand and size, approximate hours, and how long since oil / filter is the useful version of "it will not start." On gas units that sat, stale fuel / carb is the usual winter story; oil and air filter are the first honest check before anyone talks stator or controller.

What is yours doing? No canned multi-user replies here — real hours and real symptoms help.
