      If your Craftsman Inverter engine won't start or runs roughly, there are several potential causes: * The rocker switch may be set to 'Off'. If so, set the switch to 'On'. * The fuel valve might be in the 'Off' position. Turn the fuel valve to the 'Open' position. * The air cleaner could be dirty. Clean or replace the air cleaner. * The unit may be out of fuel. Fill the fuel tank. * The fuel may be stale. Drain the fuel tank and carburetor, then fill with fresh fuel. * The spark plug wire might not be connected. Connect the wire to the spark plug. * The spark plug could be bad. Replace the spark plug. * There might be water in the fuel. Drain the fuel tank and carburetor, then fill with fresh fuel. * The engine may be flooded. Wait 5 minutes and re-crank the engine.

      If your Craftsman Inverter's engine runs but there's no AC output, here's what might be happening: 1. A circuit breaker may be open. Reset the circuit breaker. 2. There may be a poor connection or a defective cord set. Check and repair the connection or cord set. 3. The connected device could be faulty. Connect another device that is in good condition.

      Christopher OliverAug 12, 2025
      If your Craftsman Inverter engine runs well without a load but bogs down when loads are connected, it could be due to: 1. A short circuit in a connected load. Disconnect the shorted electrical load. 2. The generator being overloaded. See 'Don't Overload Generator'.
