Why won't my Kohler Portable Generator engine start?
- B
  Brian BoydAug 1, 2025
  If your Kohler Portable Generator engine won’t start, several factors could be at play. It could be due to no fuel being supplied to the combustion chamber, a low oil level, or a poor spark. Make sure that fuel is supplied, add engine oil to the correct level, remove any carbon, or wipe the spark plug dry. Other possible causes are: the fuel cock lever is not in the ON position (turn it to ON), the fuel line is clogged (clean it), there is foreign matter in the fuel cock (clean it), or the carburetor is clogged (clean it). If the ignition system is faulty, consult a Kohler portable dealer.

  If your Kohler Portable Generator isn’t producing power, check the safety devices. If the AC safety device is OFF, stop the engine and then restart it. If the DC protector is in the '3' (OFF) position, press it to 'I' (RESET).

The fuel line may be clogged (replace it). The unit could also be clogged (clean it). For a spark issue, consult a Kohler portable dealer. The manual does not provide information about the air filter element clogging.
