How to start a Predator generators 6500 Watt when it won't start?
- LLindsey RyanAug 12, 2025
If your Predator Portable Generator's engine won't start, there are several potential causes related to fuel. First, ensure the fuel tank isn't empty and the fuel valve is open; if not, fill the tank and open the valve. If the engine is cold, make sure the choke is in the CHOKE position. Also, avoid using gasoline with more than 10% ethanol (E15, E20, E85, etc.) and use fresh 87+ octane unleaded gasoline instead. If the carburetor isn't primed, pull the starter handle to prime it. Lastly, a clogged fuel filter can prevent starting, so replace the fuel filter if necessary.
