What causes an ETQ TG1200 engine to hunt or falter?
If your ETQ Portable Generator engine “hunts” or falters, it could be due to the choke being opened too soon (move the choke to the halfway position until the engine runs smoothly). Alternatively, the carburetor might be running too rich or too lean, in which case you should contact your local service dealer.
Why won't my ETQ Inverter engine start or runs rough?
The ETQ Inverter engine might fail to start or run roughly due to several reasons: * The engine switch is set to “OFF”. Ensure the switch is set to “On”. * The fuel valve is in the “Off” position. Turn the fuel valve to the “On’ position. * The air cleaner is dirty. Clean or replace the air cleaner. * The gasoline mix is bad or the unit is out of gasoline. Fill the fuel tank with fresh fuel. * The spark plug wire is loose or disconnected. Connect the wire to the spark plug, or replace the spark plug if it's bad. * There is water in the gasoline. Drain the gas tank and fill it with fresh fuel. * The unit is overchoking. Set the choke to the Run position. * The oil level is low. Fill the crankcase to the proper level.
What to do if my ETQ Inverter engine is running but there is no AC output?
If your ETQ Inverter engine runs but provides no AC output, consider these potential causes: * The circuit breaker might be open. Reset the circuit breaker. * There may be a defective cord or poor connection. Check and repair the cord or connection. * The connected device could be faulty. Connect a device that is in good condition.
What to do if ETQ Inverter engine runs good but gets bogged down when loads are connected?
If the ETQ Inverter engine runs well but bogs down when loads are connected, it could be due to: * An electrical short in the connected load. Disconnect the shorted electrical load. * The generator being overloaded. Refer to “connecting electrical loads and electrical capacity”.
How to fix ETQ Inverter engine that lacks power?
If your ETQ Inverter engine lacks power, it could be due to: * The load being too high. See “connecting electrical loads and electrical capacity”. * A dirty air filter. Replace the air filter.
What to do if my ETQ TG1200 is running but has no AC output?
If your ETQ Portable Generator engine is running but there's no AC output, begin by checking the circuit breaker and resetting it if it's open. Inspect the cord and connections for any defects or poor connections, repairing as necessary. Ensure the connected device is in good working condition by testing with a known good device. If the issue persists, there may be a fault in the generator, in which case you should contact your local service dealer.
What to do if my ETQ Portable Generator bogs down when I connect loads?
If the ETQ Portable Generator engine runs well but bogs down when you connect loads, it could be due to several reasons. There might be an electrical short in the connected load; disconnect it to see if that resolves the issue. The generator could also be overloaded; refer to the section on connecting electrical loads and electrical capacity to ensure you're within the limits. If the engine speed is too low or the generator circuit is shorted, contact your local service department.
Why does my ETQ TG1200 Portable Generator shut down during operation?
If your ETQ Portable Generator engine shuts down during operation, it could be due to a couple of reasons. First, check the fuel tank and fill it with gasoline if it's empty. If fuel is not the issue, there may be a problem with the engine itself, and you should contact your local service dealer.
Why does my ETQ TG1200 Portable Generator lack power?
If your ETQ Portable Generator engine lacks power, it could be due to a few reasons. First, make sure that the load isn't too high by consulting the section on connecting electrical loads and electrical capacity. Also, check the air filter and replace it if it's dirty. If neither of these solves the problem, the engine may need to be serviced, and you should contact your local service dealer.
Why won't my ETQ TG1200 Portable Generator start or why does it run rough?
If your ETQ Portable Generator engine won't start or runs roughly after starting, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the engine switch is set to the “On” position and the fuel valve is also in the “On” position. Other potential causes include a dirty air cleaner (clean or replace it), an empty fuel tank (fill it), or bad gasoline mix (drain the tank and refill with fresh fuel). Also, check for a loose or disconnected spark plug wire (connect it) or a bad spark plug (replace it). Water in the gasoline can also cause issues (drain and refill with fresh fuel), as can overchoking (set the choke to the Run position) or a low oil level (fill the crankcase to the correct level). For excessive rich fuel mixture, a stuck intake valve, or no compression, contact your local service deale...
