Hello i have a Genmax 9000iedc inverter generator.

We've only used it a couple times after buying it used, worked fine for like 6-8 hours but now it seems like there's a fuel blockage or something.

For one - i can't put more gas in, and i know it isn't full

Two - it runs for like 30 or so minutes before sputtering out and it can't run at full electric capacity

Three - i just did oil change so its not that

Four - the couple that had it before us might've had it sitting with fuel in it for awhile and i didn't pump it before hand, so could that old fuel be the culprit?

Would pumping the fuel out and draining the carburetor be a good first step towards diagnosing or fixing?

I need HELP
