What to do if my American Fab Portable Generator engine will not start or runs rough?
- CClifford WilliamsAug 6, 2025
If your American Fab Portable Generator's engine won't start or runs rough, there are several potential causes: * Ensure the On/Off Switch is in the ‘On’ position. * Check and charge or replace the battery if it's dead. * Make sure the Fuel Valve is in the “ON” position. * Clean the air filter if it's dirty. * Fill the fuel tank if it's out of fuel or drain and refill if the fuel is stale or contains water. * Ensure enough speed and force are used for recoil start, following the directions. * Move the speed control to the “Run” position. * Add oil if the oil level is low. For fouled plugs or ignition issues, check for a spark. If the engine has lost compression, it may require professional attention.
