      Erica BowmanAug 1, 2025
      Your Champion Power Equipment Portable Generator might not start due to several reasons. It could be due to no fuel, so add fuel. Another reason could be a faulty spark plug, in which case you should clean and adjust or replace it. Check if the oil level is low and fill the crankcase to the proper level. Ensure the generator is on a flat, level surface. Also, make sure the spark plug wire is attached to the spark plug. The fuel valve should be open, and the EZ Start dial should be in the RUN position. If the fuel is old or contains water, drain and replace it with fresh fuel. Finally, if the engine is flooded with fuel, let the unit stand for 10 minutes.
