If your Briggs & Stratton Portable Generator won't start or starts and runs roughly, it could be due to a few reasons. You might be out of gasoline, so fill the fuel tank. Alternatively, the oil level might be low, so fill the crankcase to the proper level or place the generator on a level surface.
What to do if Briggs & Stratton Portable Generator has no AC output but is running?
If your Briggs & Stratton Portable Generator is running but has no AC output, there are several possible causes. First, check if one of the circuit breakers is open and reset it. A poor connection or defective cord set could also be the problem, so inspect and repair as necessary. The connected device might be faulty, so try connecting another device that is in good condition. If none of these steps resolve the issue, there may be a fault in the generator, and you should contact an authorized service facility.
What to do if my Briggs & Stratton Portable Generator runs good at no-load but bogs down when loads are connected?
