  Tony HughesAug 2, 2025
  If your Firman Portable Generator won't start, runs rough, or shuts down, several factors could be at play. Ensure the fuel valve is in the “ON” position and that the indicator light is solid red. Check for sufficient oil level, a clean air cleaner, and fresh gasoline. Connect the spark plug wire, or replace the spark plug if it’s bad. Drain any water from the gasoline. If flooded, wait 5 minutes before re-cranking. Also, check the battery and charge if necessary or manually start the engine. If the fuel filter is clogged or dirty, clean or replace it.
