I guess it's a good time to learn how to clean carburetors of you already don't know how. It's actually rather easy if you just take your time and take pictures of how it something looks before you remove it and remember how many turns any set screws are set from their bottom. Do you only use non oxygenated gas in them?(No ethanol)

I know he uses non ethanol gas in them, but i'll ask if he has cleaned the carburetors. Thanks for the tips.
Check the air filter also to make sure no mouse built something. If you need help walking through the carb let me know. But sounds like you guys already know that two is one so you should be good for this outage.
Thank you, when it gets daylight, i'll ask him to check the filter too. If he has any trouble, i'll hit you up.
He started it up after cleaning, but now there's fuel leaking out of the bottom of the double lines (on right side in pic). Any ideas?
The float may be stuck down letting the gas keep coming into the bowl and over flowing. A chunk may be stuck in the needle and seat which the float lifts up the needle to seal it off when the carb is full. Sometimes a good jostle can break it loose. Pick generator up about 3 inches and drop it. May need to drop bowl off while leaving rest of carb on and ensure the float stops gas flow when raised up. Or perhaps the float is in backwards. Sometimes chunks of stuff come from gas tank and plug up the needle and seat and prevent it from sealing.
