What to do if my Pulsar Portable Generator lacks power?
If your Pulsar Portable Generator engine lacks power, ensure that the generator is not overloaded. Clean or replace the fuel filter if it is clogged, and replace the air filter if it is dirty.
Why won't my Pulsar Portable Generator start or keeps shutting down?
If your Pulsar Portable Generator's engine won't start, shuts down, or runs roughly, make sure the ON/OFF switch is set to “ON”, replace the air filter if it’s dirty, clean or replace the fuel filter if it’s clogged, and replace the fuel if it’s stale. Also, check and reconnect the spark plug wire if it's disconnected, replace the spark plug if it’s bad, drain the fuel tank and replace the fuel if there's water in it, and ensure the fuel valve is in the “ON” position. Turn off the choke if the engine is over choked. Fill the crankcase to the proper oil level and place the generator on a level surface if the oil level is low. Wait 5 minutes and recrank the engine if it has flooded.
How to fix a Pulsar Portable Generator with no AC output?
If your Pulsar Portable Generator engine is running, but there's no AC output, first reset the circuit breaker. Then, check and repair any poor connections or defective cord sets. Ensure the connected device is working properly by testing with a known good device. If the issue persists, it may be a fault in the generator.
Why does my Pulsar Portable Generator bog down when I plug something in?
If your Pulsar Portable Generator engine runs well without a load but bogs down when loads are connected, disconnect the device to check for a short circuit. Clean or replace the fuel filter if it's clogged.
How to stop a Pulsar Portable Generator engine from faltering?
If the engine of your Pulsar Portable Generator “hunts” or falters, try moving the choke to the middle position until the engine runs evenly. Also, clean or replace the fuel filter if it’s clogged.
