What to do if my Polaris Portable Generator turns over but will not start?

If your Polaris Portable Generator turns over but doesn't start, several factors could be at play. Start by checking the fuel level and refueling if necessary. If the fuel is old or not recommended, or if water is present, drain the fuel system and refuel. Inspect the spark plug for fouling or defects, replacing it if needed. Also, ensure the engine switch is ON and that there's a spark reaching the spark plug. If the oil level is low, repeat the pre-operation inspection. For issues like water or fuel in the crankcase or mechanical failure, it's best to take the generator to an authorized Polaris servicing supplier or refer to the service manual.
