  Your Champion Portable Generator might not start due to several reasons: * There's no fuel. Add fuel to the tank. * The spark plug is faulty. Clean and adjust the spark plug, or replace it if necessary. * The oil level is low. Fill the crankcase to the correct level. * The generator isn't on a flat surface. Place it on a level surface. * The spark plug wire is loose. Attach the wire securely to the spark plug. * The fuel valve is closed. Open the fuel valve to allow fuel flow. * The fuel is old or contaminated. Drain the old fuel and replace it with fresh fuel. * The engine is flooded. Let the unit stand for about 10 minutes to allow excess fuel to dissipate.
