      If your DUROMAX Portable Generator won't start, several factors could be the cause. First, ensure the engine switch is set to “RUN” and the fuel valve is “OPEN”. Check that the choke is closed and that there is enough fuel, making sure the fuel isn't old or contaminated. Inspect the spark plug; it may need cleaning or replacing. Also, verify the generator is on a level surface and that the oil level is sufficient. Address these potential issues to get your generator running.

      If your DUROMAX Portable Generator runs but doesn't support all connected electrical devices, it might be overloaded. Disconnect some items to reduce the load. Another reason could be a malfunctioning device, so try disconnecting devices one by one to identify the faulty one. Lastly, a dirty air filter can cause this issue, so clean or replace it.
