  Jeremy TaylorAug 9, 2025
  To get your Firman Portable Generator engine started, ensure the fuel selector switch is in the 'GAS' or 'LPG/NG' position and that the indicator light is solid red. Check the oil level and fill if necessary, ensuring the generator is on a level surface. Clean or replace the air cleaner if it's dirty. Make sure the fuel tank has fresh gasoline, and the spark plug wire is connected properly. Replace the spark plug if it's bad, and drain any water from the gas tank and carburetor. If flooded, wait 5 minutes before re-cranking. Also, check the battery output and charge if required, or manually start the engine if the battery is drained.

  If your Firman Portable Generator runs well without a load but bogs down when loads are connected, disconnect any electrical load that might have a short circuit. Also, clean or replace the fuel filter if it's clogged or dirty. If these steps don't resolve the issue, the engine speed may be too slow or there could be a shorted generator circuit, both of which require attention from an authorized service facility.
