I spent most of that time trying to get my Honda 2000 running... sigh. Carb dirty, I imagine. runs for 3.5 sec, starves out. Last summer, had same thing. cleaned carb and ran several tanks of gas through it, then ran it dry and let it sit. Guess I'm going to have to get into a regimen of running a tank of gas through it every couple of weeks. sigh...
But, we've had power now since 1300, so almost warm, again.
