To Next PageTo Next PageWhat to do if Briggs & Stratton 1970 Portable Generator shuts down during operation?
If your Briggs & Stratton Portable Generator shuts down during operation, there are a couple of potential causes. First, check the fuel level and fill the fuel tank if it's empty. Second, check the oil level and fill the crankcase to the proper level or place the generator on a level surface.
Why does my Briggs & Stratton Portable Generator run good at no-load but 'bogs' down' when loads are connected?
There are several reasons why your Briggs & Stratton Portable Generator might run well without a load but bogs down when loads are connected: * A short circuit in a connected load. Disconnect electrical load in this case. * The generator is overloaded. See 'Don't Overload Generator' to avoid overloading. * Shorted generator circuit. In this case, contact an authorized service facility.
