Why Generac Power Systems 60 kW engine will not crank?
- C
  Christopher TaylorAug 4, 2025
  If your Generac Power Systems Portable Generator engine won't crank, here's what might be happening: * A blown fuse could be the culprit. Replace the 7.5 amp fuse in the generator control panel. If it blows again, there may be a short circuit that needs fixing. * Loose, corroded, or defective battery cables can also prevent cranking. Try tightening, cleaning, or replacing them as needed. * A defective starter contact or starter motor could also be the reason. Tighten, clean, or replace these components as necessary. * The battery might be dead. In this case, charge or replace the battery.
