How to troubleshoot starting issues with my DUROMAX Portable Generator?
- KKathryn MejiaAug 5, 2025
If your DUROMAX Portable Generator's engine won't start, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the engine switch is set to “run” and the fuel valve is open. Check if the choke is closed and that there's sufficient fuel in the generator. Old or contaminated fuel can also prevent starting, so consider changing it. Inspect the spark plug for dirt or damage; clean or replace it as needed. Make sure the generator is placed on a level surface. Finally, check the oil level and add or change oil if necessary.
