Why does my Firman W03083 engine will not start; starts and runs rough or shuts down when running?

There are several reasons why your Firman Inverter engine might not start, run roughly, or shut down. Here are a few things to check: * Ensure the engine switch is in the ON (l) position and the fuel shutoff lever is also in the ON (l) position. * Check the oil level and add oil if it's low, or place the generator on a level surface. * Make sure the air cleaner is clean, and the fuel tank isn't empty or filled with stale fuel or water. * 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 restart it. If none of these steps work, there may be an issue with the fuel mixture, intake valve, or engine compression, requiring professional service.
