Why won't my Firman Portable Generator start?
- CChristopher HillAug 3, 2025
Your Firman Portable Generator might not start due to several reasons. Check the oil level and fill to the proper level, ensuring the generator is on a level surface. Make sure you have enough fuel, either gasoline or propane (LPG). Inspect the spark plug and replace if it's bad, ensuring the spark plug wire is connected. Also, check the fuel filter for clogs or dirt and clean or replace it. If using propane, ensure the cylinder knob is fully open. If the battery is low, start the engine in "GAS" position, and consider charging or replacing the battery. Lastly, adjust the choke position and clean or replace the spark arrester if clogged.
