- TTimothy DoughertyAug 11, 2025
If your Powersmart Portable Generator engine won't start, possible causes include: * The engine switch is set to "OFF". If this is the case, set the engine switch to "ON". * The fuel valve is turned to "OFF". Turn the fuel valve to the "ON" position. * The choke is open, so close the choke. * The engine is out of gas, add gasoline. * The engine is filled with contaminated or old gas, change the gas in the tank and drain the gas in the carburetor. * The spark plug is dirty, clean it. * The spark plug is broken, replace it. * The generator is not on a level surface, move it to a level surface. * The oil is low, add or replace the oil. * The air cleaner is dirty, clean or replace the air cleaner element.
