Why Pulsar PG4000iSR engine lacks power?
If your Pulsar Portable Generator engine lacks power, consider these possibilities: * The generator might be overloaded. Please, see pg 17 “Don’t overload generator”. * The fuel filter could be clogged. Clean or replace it. * The air filter may be dirty. Replace it.
Why Pulsar PG4000iSR Portable Generator engine will not start, shuts down during operation, or starts and runs rough?
If your Pulsar Portable Generator engine won't start, shuts down, or runs rough, there are several potential causes: * The 3-in-1 switch may be set to “OFF.” Try turning the switch to “CHOKE” and then pull the recoil starter. * The air filter or fuel filter could be dirty or clogged. Clean or replace them. * You might be out of fuel or using stale fuel; replace the fuel. * The spark plug wire may be disconnected; reconnect it. * The spark plug could be bad; clean or replace it. * There might be water in the fuel; drain the tank and replace the fuel. * The engine might be overchoking; turn off the choke. * The oil level could be low; add oil. * The engine may be flooded; wait 5 minutes and try again.
What to do if Pulsar PG4000iSR Portable Generator is running, but does not supply power?
If your Pulsar Portable Generator is running but not supplying power, try the following: 1. Ensure the DC Circuit Breaker is turned “ON”. 2. If the green AC Pilot Light Indicator is off, stop and restart the engine. 3. Check for and repair any poor connections or defective cord sets. 4. Make sure the connected device is working properly by testing with another device.
What to do if Pulsar PG4000iSR runs good without load but bogs down when loads are connected?
If your Pulsar Portable Generator runs well without a load but bogs down when loads are connected, here's what might be happening: * A connected device may have a short circuit. Disconnect the device. * The generator could be overloaded. Please, see pg 17 “Don’t overload generator”.
How to fix Pulsar PG4000iSR when engine “hunts” or falters?
If your Pulsar Portable Generator engine “hunts” or falters, it could be due to the choke being removed too soon. Move to choke until engine runs evenly.
