  If your Ryobi Portable Generator engine won’t start, several factors could be the cause. First, ensure the engine switch is set to “on” and the fuel valve is in the “open” position. Check that the choke is closed. Make sure the engine has enough fuel and that the fuel isn't old or contaminated; if it is, replace it. Inspect the spark plug; a dirty spark plug should be cleaned, and a broken one should be replaced. Also, ensure the generator is on a level surface to prevent the low oil shutdown from activating. Finally, check the oil level and add or replace oil if needed.

  If your Ryobi Portable Generator runs but provides no electrical output, first check if the circuit breaker is off and set it to the “on” position. If you're using an extension cord, try a different one. Also, the electrical device connected to the generator could be faulty, so try connecting a different device to see if that resolves the issue.

  If your Ryobi Portable Generator runs but can't support all the connected devices, it might be overloaded. Try connecting fewer electrical loads to the generator. A short in one of the connected devices could also be the problem, so try disconnecting any faulty or short-circuited electrical loads. Lastly, a dirty air cleaner can cause this issue, so clean or replace the air cleaner.
