How to troubleshoot a DuroStar DS13000X that will not start?
- NNicholas JamesAug 7, 2025
If your DuroStar 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 turned to “ON”. Check that the choke is closed. Also, verify that you have enough fuel and that it's not old or contaminated; if it is, change the fuel. Inspect the spark plug to see if it's dirty (clean it) or broken (replace it). Make sure the generator is on a level surface, and check the oil level, adding or changing the oil if necessary.
