Why won't my Craftsman Portable Generator start?
- LLaura MooreJul 31, 2025
Your Craftsman Portable Generator might not start due to several reasons: * It may be low on fuel or oil, so add fuel or oil. * The ignition switch might be in the 'Off' position; turn it to 'ON'. * There could be a faulty spark plug, which you should replace. * The choke might be in the wrong position, so adjust it accordingly. * The fuel shut-off valve could be closed; open it. * The unit might be loaded during start-up; remove the load. * The spark plug wire might be loose; attach it to the spark plug.
