  If your Evopower Portable Generator's engine won't start or runs rough, there are several potential causes. First, ensure the engine switch and fuel valve are turned on. Check the fuel level and add fuel if necessary. If the fuel is stale, drain the tank and refill it with fresh fuel. Also, verify the engine oil level and add oil if it's low. Make sure the spark plug wire is securely connected to the spark plug. Inspect the spark plug for any faults and replace if needed. Additionally, ensure fuel is reaching the carburetor by pumping fuel into it. Finally, check the air filter and spark arrestor screen for dirt; clean or replace them as necessary.

What to do if there is no power at the receptacle of my Evopower SF1000 Portable Generator?

  If there's no power at the receptacle of your Evopower Portable Generator, it could be due to several reasons. Check the circuit breaker for a tripped position or an illuminated overload DC indicator light. If tripped, reduce the electrical load on the circuit, wait a few minutes, and then reset the circuit breaker. A defective circuit breaker could also be the cause, requiring replacement. Inspect the cord connection for any looseness or damage, and replace the cord if it's defective. Lastly, the connected appliance or equipment might be faulty; check it for defects and disconnect it from the generator if necessary.

  If you're experiencing low power at the receptacles of your Evopower Portable Generator, it may be due to a dirty air filter. Clean or replace the air filter. Another potential cause is a dirty spark arrestor screen; clean it. Stale fuel can also lead to low power; drain the fuel tank and refill with fresh fuel.
