Why is fuel leaking from my DEK Inverter's carburetor?
If fuel is leaking out of the carburetor of your DEK Inverter, the fuel drain screw might be loose; tighten it. Alternatively, the carburetor float seat may not be seating properly; flush it with clean fuel.
Why is my DEK Inverter engine running rough?
If your DEK Inverter engine runs roughly, vibrates, or oscillates, here are some potential causes and solutions: Ensure the choke is fully open by pushing the choke lever in. Reduce the load on the generator by disconnecting some appliances if you're overloading it. Check the air filter and clean it if it's dirty. A clogged fuel filter can also cause this issue, so clean it. If the vacuum check valve has failed, replace it. If the head valve timing is off, it is recommended to send it to a service center.
What to do if DEK Inverter starts then shuts off quickly?
If your DEK Inverter engine starts but shuts off quickly, check the following: Ensure the oil level is adequate by consulting the owner's manual for the correct oil capacity. Verify that the fuel valve is open and the tank isn't empty. Inspect the spark plug for fouling or failure, and clean or replace it as necessary. A failed vacuum check valve could also be the problem; replace it, and call DEK for the replacement procedure.
DEK Inverter shows voltage but no power to devices, what's wrong?
If your DEK Inverter shows both 240VAC and 120VAC on the voltmeter, but connected devices aren't receiving power, here's what you can check: First, try a different extension cord or power strip, as the current one may be faulty. Ensure the device you're using hasn't failed by testing with a different light bulb or device. Also, verify that the push-button breaker hasn't tripped. Finally, check the GFCI; if it's tripped, push the red reset button firmly, and if it has failed, replace it with any standard GFCI or household outlet.
Why does my DEK Inverter engine bog down under load?
If your DEK Inverter engine runs but bogs down under load, consider these potential causes: The choke might be open, so push the choke lever in. You might be overloading the generator, in which case you should disconnect some appliances or devices. A dirty air filter or a clogged fuel filter could also be the culprit, so clean the air filter and clean the fuel filter.
What to do if my DEK Inverter shows voltage but no outlet power?
If your DEK Inverter's voltmeter shows 120 VAC but the outlets aren't providing power, the issue might stem from a faulty extension cord or power strip; try using a different one. Also, check the push-button breaker and reset it if it's tripped by disconnecting all loads and pushing the reset button. Similarly, examine the GFCI; if tripped, disconnect all loads and firmly push the red reset button. If the GFCI has failed, consider replacing it with any standard GFCI or household outlet.
