      If your Firman Portable Generator engine won't start, runs roughly, or shuts down, there are several things to check: * Ensure the engine switch and fuel shutoff lever are in the ON position. * Check the oil level and add oil if it's low, or place the generator on a level surface. * Inspect the air cleaner and clean or replace it if it's dirty. * Make sure there is enough fuel and that it is fresh. * Ensure the spark plug wire is connected and the spark plug is in good condition. * If the engine is flooded, wait 5 minutes before trying to start it again. * Clean or replace the fuel filter.

    Why does my Firman Portable Generator bog down when I plug something in?

      Jeremy BruceAug 18, 2025
      If your Firman Portable Generator's engine runs well without any load but struggles or 'bogs down' when you connect devices, it could be due to several reasons. First, there might be a short circuit in the connected load, so disconnect it. Alternatively, the fuel filter may be clogged or dirty, so try cleaning or replacing it. In other cases, the generator might be overloaded.

      If your Firman Portable Generator engine shuts down while running, make sure it has enough fuel by filling the fuel tank. Also, check the air cleaner and clean or replace it if it's dirty. Finally, verify the oil level and fill the crankcase to the proper level or place the generator on a level surface.

    Why is my Firman P06702 Portable Generator losing power?
    • J
      Jennifer MillerAug 30, 2025
      If your Firman Portable Generator engine lacks power, it could be due to a high load, so avoid overloading it. Additionally, the air filter might be dirty, so replace it. Also, the fuel filter may be clogged or dirty, so clean or replace it. A clogged spark arrester can also cause this issue, so clean or replace that as well.
