Why won't my Generac Power Systems Inverter engine start?
- M
  Matthew ReyesSep 3, 2025
  If your Generac Power Systems Inverter engine won't start, it could be due to several reasons. First, ensure there is fuel in the tank by adding fuel if needed. Next, check that the fuel valve is turned on. If these steps don't work, the spark plug may be defective and require replacement, or the fuel filter might be plugged, necessitating its replacement. Finally, a defective or stuck engine stop switch could be the culprit, which would require replacing the engine start switch.

What to do if Generac Power Systems Inverter starts, then shuts down?
- K
  Katherine BarrSep 5, 2025
  If your Generac Power Systems Inverter starts but then shuts down, it could be due to several factors. Begin by adding fuel to the tank if the fuel level is low. Ensure the fuel tank vent is open. Check the engine oil level and add oil if needed. Consider replacing the fuel filter in case of contaminated fuel. A defective low oil level switch or a defective ignition coil may also cause this issue, requiring replacement of the engine start switch or the ignition coil, respectively.

  latoyawyattSep 8, 2025
  If your Generac Power Systems Inverter engine starts but runs rough, it might be because the choke is stuck or left on; in this case, turn the choke off. Another cause could be a dirty or clogged air filter, so clean or replace the air filter element. Also, a defective spark plug, a dirty fuel filter, or a defective FlexPower switch could be the reason. Replace the spark plug, fuel filter, or FlexPower switch as needed.
