Yes
It was running rough last it ran, kinda shaky, it was able to power the microwave but not the AC I think it was too much load. Could it be the brushes? Oil level is at 1/4 haven’t got the spark plug out the point on the connector looks good cranks it just wont turn over anymore. Any thoughts before I get someone to look at it? Thanks
 
Fluids, filters, etc. all of the common sense items I'm sure you're checking. Nothing else to add beyond that.
 
Ok so it was a fouled up spark plug, it starts but it runs like it’s lean and starving For fuel, I turned the altitude adjustment all the way to the left since we are at sea level, when I turn the fuel screw to the left fuel leaks out, maybe a carburetor problem or clogged fuel fiter? Any thoughts? Here is a video I took today of what it’s doing, Thanks Video
 
That sounds a lot like a dirty carburetor to me. Pull the carb and clean all passages.
 
After I posted this I stopped by Oreilly Auto and the guy said the same thing, so that’s what I will do, will let you know how it goes. Thanks
