/u/dadoftwins04 , FYI, it can be pretty easy to clean the carb depending on what generator you have. I have a Generac that wouldn't start, got it running by just spraying some carb cleaner into the carburator, opening the drain bolt to drain out old gas that was sitting in it, and then it pretty much started right up.

If I were you, I'd look up "how to fix [your generator model] won't start" on youtube, or just look at the manual and see how easy it'd be to spray into the carb. Especially if it's a Generac, chances are it's super easy, and with a quick trip to an auto shop to buy the cleaning spray you could have the generator up and running.
