  Deborah HamptonAug 18, 2025
  If your Briggs & Stratton Portable Generator is running but there's no AC output, the issue could stem from a few causes. First, check the circuit breaker; it may be open or defective, requiring a reset or replacement. If the circuit breaker is not the problem, there may be a fault in the generator itself, or poor wiring connections/defective transfer switch, which requires checking and repairing. If it is a fault in the generator, contact a local service facility.

Why does my Briggs & Stratton Home Generator Systems bog down under load?
- K
  Karen JensenAug 21, 2025
  If your Briggs & Stratton Portable Generator engine runs well without a load but bogs down when loads are connected, consider these possibilities: There might be a short circuit in a connected load, so disconnect any electrical loads that may be shorted. The generator could be overloaded, so turn off one or more loads. There may also be a kinked fuel line between the regulator and the engine, so remove the kink in the fuel line or replace it if necessary. If the issue persists, there may be a shorted generator circuit, and you should contact a local service facility. For fuel pressure or natural gas mixture issues, consult the Gaseous Fuel System section in the Installation Manual.

  If your Briggs & Stratton Portable Generator engine shuts down during operation, it could be due to a couple of reasons. Check the fuel valves to ensure the fuel supply isn't turned off or depleted, and fill the propane tank if necessary. Also, if the fault indicator is blinking, count the blinks and refer to the Fault I Detection System to diagnose the issue.

  If your Briggs & Stratton Portable Generator unit will not exercise weekly, ensure that the System Switch is set to AUTO. Also, verify that the exercise timer is properly set. If these settings are correct, check if the battery has failed and needs replacement, or if the 15 Amp fuse is missing or blown, requiring a new fuse to be installed.
