Why iPower Portable Generator won't start?
- KKenneth FrancisAug 5, 2025
Your iPower Portable Generator might not start due to several reasons. First, ensure the engine switch and fuel valve are in the ON position. Check the oil level and add oil if it's low, or place the generator on a level surface. Inspect the air filter; clean or replace it if dirty. Make sure the fuel tank is filled with fresh fuel, and drain the tank and carburetor if the fuel is stale or contains water. Also, verify the spark plug wire is connected, and replace the spark plug if it's bad. If the engine is flooded, wait 5 minutes before re-cranking. If the generator shuts off with a blinking red light, follow the safety instructions on the CO Action Label. Finally, a clogged fuel filter or spark arrestor screen may also be the cause.
