How to troubleshoot Generac Power Systems Lighting Equipment that cranks but won't start?
- YyphillipsJul 31, 2025
If your Generac Power Systems Lighting Equipment cranks but doesn't start, it could be due to several reasons. First, check the fuel level in the tank. An obstructed fuel flow could also be the culprit, so inspect the fuel pump operation, the fuel supply hose from the tank to the fuel filter for any cracks or abrasions, and check for gelled fuel in the fuel system, especially at the fuel filter during cold weather. Air in the fuel system can also prevent starting, so purge any air from the system. Additionally, inspect the air filter for any blockages. If the glow plug(s) are inoperable, refer to the OEM engine operator’s manual for additional information.
