  If your Pulsar Generators engine won't start, consider these potential causes: * Check if there is fuel in the tank and refill it if needed. * Ensure there is enough oil in the engine, adding the recommended oil if necessary. * Inspect the spark plug, readjusting the gap and drying it. Replace the spark plug if it's in poor condition. * Verify that fuel is reaching the carburetor, cleaning the fuel sediment cup if needed.
