Why won't my Homelite HGCA1400 Portable Generator start?
- Eelizabeth28Jul 31, 2025
Your Homelite Portable Generator might not start due to several reasons: the engine switch might be off (turn it on); there might be no fuel (fill the fuel tank); the lubricant level could be low (check and fill if necessary); the fuel valve might be off (turn the fuel valve on); the spark plug could be faulty (replace it); the choke lever might be in the RUN position (move it to the START position); or the engine was stored without proper fuel treatment, or refueled with bad gasoline (drain the fuel and carburetor, then refuel with fresh gasoline).
