      If your North Star Portable Generator has no output voltage, reduce the load connected to it. Ensure there's at least 3 feet of clearance on all sides of the generator. Disconnect the load. If these steps don't resolve the issue, the receptacle may need to be replaced, or the generator may require repair by a qualified technician.

    Why doesn't the idle control work on my North Star 8000 IPG?
    • T
      Taylor CarlsonAug 25, 2025
      If the idle control on your North Star Portable Generator isn’t working, first, make sure the switch is in the ON position. Then, check for 12 VDC at the solenoid, and verify the coil resistance is 18.5? ±5%. Also, inspect the mechanism and solenoid for any sticking. Reset the circuit breaker. If necessary, raise the engine idle speed by turning the engine throttle stop screw ½ turn clockwise. If problems persist, the generator may require repair by a qualified technician, or the idle assembly might need replacement.
