Why is my generator turning over but not starting?

A clogged carburetor is most commonly caused by leaving fuel in the generator for a long period of time. Over time, some of the ingredients in the fuel may evaporate, leaving behind a thicker, stickier substance. This sticky fuel can clog up the carburetor and prevent the engine from starting.

Does a generator have a fuse?

Why is there no fuel in my Generator?

If there is an in-line fuel filter between the fuel valve and carburetor, also check it to make sure it is not blocked. If you stored your generator for a long period of time without first draining the carburetor, the odds are high that it may be clogged by old gasoline.

Can You charge a generator battery with a pull starter?

For electric start generators, the battery may lose its charge over time due to a lack of use. If this happens, simply start the generator using the pull starter to add juice back into the battery. If a recoil starter is unavailable on the unit, you may need to try alternative methods, such as a third-party battery charger.

Why is my oil sensor not working on my Generator?

If the generator starts once this has been unplugged, then the oil sensor is not working. Many times, running the engine with this unplugged for several minutes before reconnecting the oil sensor wire will resolve the problem. Otherwise, the engine may require a complete tear-down in order to replace the oil sensor.

What to do if your generator has low oil?

Keep in mind that attempting to run the generator on an uneven surface might cause the low-oil sensor to trigger despite there being enough oil. Check the gas tank to make sure a sufficient amount of gasoline remains in the tank.
