Did you use fuel stabilizer in the fuel tank?
I have to prime mine for a count 60. Then again for 15. Then it fires up. Been that way since new. It’s a long way from fuel tank to genny.
You say it chugs. Are your batteries fully charged?
Is oil low or overfilled?
I haven’t used ether starting fluid since the ‘70s when my Doge Dart backfired thru the carb and took all my facial hair with it.
