What to do if Generac Power Systems PowerBOSS 5500 Portable Generator engine will not start or runs rough?
- KKristin TaylorJul 31, 2025
If your Generac Power Systems Portable Generator engine won't start or runs rough, there are several potential causes: * The rocker switch might be set to “Off”—set it to “On.” * The oil level could be low—fill the crankcase to the proper level. * The air cleaner may be dirty—clean or replace it. * The generator might be out of gasoline—fill the fuel tank. * The gasoline could be stale—drain the tank and fill with fresh fuel. * The spark plug wire may not be connected—connect it. * The spark plug might be bad—replace it. * There could be water in the gasoline—drain the tank and fill with fresh fuel. * It may be overchoking—set the choke to the “Off” position.
