What to do if my Generac Power Systems Portable Generator engine will not start?
- SScott TranJul 31, 2025
If your Generac Power Systems Portable Generator engine won't start, there are several things you can check: * Ensure the Run/Stop switch is set to “Run”. * Check and clean or replace the air cleaner if it’s dirty. * Make sure there is gasoline in the tank and that it is fresh, not stale. If stale, drain the tank and fill with fresh fuel. * Ensure the spark plug wire is connected to the spark plug and that the spark plug is in good condition (replace if bad). * Drain the gas tank and fill with fresh fuel if there is water in the gasoline. * Make sure that choke lever is in “no choke” position, if the engine is overchoking. * Check that the oil level is correct and fill the crankcase to the proper level if it is low. * Recharge or replace the battery if it is dead.
