Stratton Power Boss

A look at what is currently available on eBay

My generator won't keep running....?

I have a Power boss 5500 home generator with a Briggs and Stratton 10 HP engine. It has been sitting since last winter, but I thought I put gas line antifreeze in it before I put it away. I got it started but it won't keep running. If I let it sit for 15-20 mins. it will start right up and run for 3-5 mins. then quit. Is it a fuel problem?

Sounds like water in the gas to me. You might service it with a new spark plug(s) and check for debris in the needle valve. Change your air filter also.
