Your Sportsman Portable Generator might not start due to several reasons: the fuel valve may be closed (turn it to 'open'), the choke may be open (close the choke), the propane tank may be out of fuel (replace the tank), the spark plug may be dirty (clean it), the generator may not be on a level surface (move it to a level surface), or the oil may be low (add or replace the oil).
What to do if my Sportsman GEN7000LP Portable Generator runs but does not support all connected electrical devices?
If your Sportsman Portable Generator runs but can't support all connected devices, it could be overloaded (reduce the number of connected devices), there might be a short in one of the connected devices (disconnect faulty devices), the air filter could be dirty (clean or replace it), or there may be a loose wiring harness connection (turn off the generator and check/tighten the wiring).
How to troubleshoot no electrical output from my Sportsman GEN7000LP Portable Generator?
If your Sportsman Portable Generator's engine runs but there's no electrical output, check the following: ensure the reset button(s) is (are) 'on' (push them to 'on'), inspect for loose wiring harness connections (turn off the generator and check/tighten the wiring), try a different extension cord in case of bad connecting wires/cables, disconnect any potentially faulty electrical devices, examine the carbon brushes for wear (turn off the generator and check if they're against the copper bands; replace if worn), and inspect the AVR for burn spots (turn off the generator and check the AVR; replace if burned).
