To Next PageTo Next PageWhy does my Ryobi RY903600 Portable Generator make a "spark knock" or "pinging" noise?
An occasional light knocking or pinging under a heavy load isn't usually a cause for concern. However, if the knocking or pinging occurs under normal load at a steady engine speed, the problem may be with the brand of gasoline being used. Try switching to a different brand of gasoline, making sure that the octane rating is 86 or higher.
Why Ryobi RY903600 engine will not start?
The Ryobi Portable Generator engine might fail to start due to several reasons: there's no fuel, the gasoline is stale or contaminated with water, the lubricant level is low, the spark plug is faulty, fouled, or improperly gapped, the engine switch/fuel valve/choke lever is in the OFF or RUN position, the engine was stored without treating or draining gasoline, or it was refueled with bad gasoline, or the fuel filter is dirty. To resolve this, fill the fuel tank, drain the entire system and refill with fresh fuel, check and fill the engine lubricant if necessary, replace the spark plug, move the engine switch/fuel valve/choke lever to the START position, drain the fuel and carburetor and refuel with fresh gasoline, or replace the fuel filter.
What to do if Ryobi Portable Generator AC receptacle does not work?
If the AC receptacle on your Ryobi Portable Generator isn't working, it could be due to a tripped circuit breaker or a defective item plugged in. Try resetting the AC circuit breaker. If that doesn't work, try plugging in a different item to see if that resolves the issue.
Why Ryobi RY903600 engine lacks power?
Your Ryobi Portable Generator engine may lack power if the air filter is dirty, or if the engine was stored without treating or draining gasoline, or refueled with bad gasoline. To fix this, check the air filter element and clean or replace it as needed. Also, drain the fuel and carburetor, then refuel with fresh gasoline.
How to fix Ryobi RY903600 Portable Generator that is hard to start?
If your Ryobi Portable Generator is hard to start, it could be due to water in the gasoline or a weak spark at the spark plug. Drain the entire system and refill with fresh fuel. Also, replace the spark plug.
