Re: 1988 3227 generator issue
I understand the primer will get fuel but......check and make sure you have proper unrestricted fuel flow to the carb bowl......look back up the line for valves etc. Check the tank pickup if you don't see fuel flow. Could be the pump/ if there is one, but I can say from experience that sometimes those lines can have bad fittings letting air in etc. that creates all sorts of issues. Just check all that stuff first before deciding what else top do.....good luck man.

You might want to check the anti-siphon valve at the tank. It's hard for a fuel pump to overcome a sticking one, but a primer bulb/lever might.

If you're talking about the anti-siphon valve, it would be located at the fuel tank where the hose attaches to the pickup tube.

I had problems with my Kohler a couple years ago. Replaced the anti-siphon valve and all is good.
