      If your Briggs & Stratton Portable Generator engine is running but there's no AC output, first, try resetting the circuit breaker. Then, check for poor connections or a defective cord set and repair if necessary. Ensure the connected device is working by testing with another device. If none of these steps work, there may be a fault in the generator, and you should contact a local service facility.
