Ryobi FB find inverter generator repair RYi2322 won't start

I picked this up on FB Marketplace for $200. The seller had is listed as used doesn't run. I wasn't too worried about engine damage since these have a low oil sensor. I've heard some stories of the being used in a dusty environment and since the air filter doesn't have oil the dust destroys the engine but it had no signs of being run in a dusty environment.
It is extremely clean except for the rope burn marks in the side plastic. It looks like someone pulled a heck of a lot of times trying to start it.
Turns out it was an easy 30 minute fix. I believe the owner put gas in to try it out, emptied the gas but didn't empty the carb fuel bowl and that caused the jet to get blocked. Runs great and according to the Ryobi App it had 0.1 hours of runtime.
Tools Used: SK fuck pinch off pliers, Hobart welding tip cleaning set, brake cleaner, Dremel w/ stainless steel brush head, 10 mm socket, flat head screwdriver, SAE 30 oil for air filter, starting fluid.

    Thank you, very much. This fixed mine as well, my side jet was so clogged welding tips would not work, I needed to use an extremely small drill bit to get through the gunk, runs great now!

    Glad this helped, sometimes the debris blocking the jet is very hard/compacted in. Just be careful with a drill if the bit is too big you can mess up the jet. You can also use a bristle from a steel brush

    Nice! Always a win to get a good deal, and it's a simple fix.

    For sure...I didn't expect it to have .1 hours on it. I expected a bit of use but the wins are nice. As of now I'm keeping it as a backup/unit to lend out but if I get a good offer I'll sell it.

    you can take the airfilter cover off the squit some in, however, prefer to take the breather tub off since it's rubber and take a second to pull off and put back on.
