I bought this generator from a local guy (Jason) who buy and sells used power equipment. I was told the engine was previously stuck. He got the engine unstuck and running well. He later sold it to a contractor who promptly returned it a few days later after the engine stopped running. The engine now makes a lot of noise when pulling it over. It still has compression. What went wrong and will it run again?

I no longer use Harbor Freight Super Heavy Duty Degreaser in my ultrasonic cleaner. Harbor Freight changed the recipe. The bottle previously stated "NON-CORROSIVE". Now it says "CORROSIVE", "do not user on Aluminum". It now damages most carburetors.
