Why won't my Generac Power Systems Portable Generator engine crank but not start?
- EElizabeth SmithAug 5, 2025
If the engine of your Generac Power Systems Portable Generator cranks but doesn't start, several factors could be the cause. First, ensure you have enough fuel and that the fuel shutoff valve is open. Also, verify that the fuel selector is in the correct position. Other potential issues include high fuel pressure (check and adjust if needed), faulty spark plugs (clean, inspect the gap, and replace if necessary), or valve clearance being out of adjustment (reset the valve clearance). If those steps don't resolve the issue, it might be a faulty fuel solenoid, which requires contacting an authorized independent service dealer.
