How to fix Troy-Bilt Portable Generator that will not start?
- KKara GutierrezJul 27, 2025
If your Troy-Bilt Portable Generator's engine won't start or runs poorly, there are several potential causes. Ensure the rocker switch is set to “On” and the fuel valve is in the “Open” position. Check the air cleaner; if it's dirty, clean or replace it. Make sure the generator has fuel, and if the fuel is stale, drain the tank and carburetor, then refill with fresh fuel. Ensure the spark plug wire is connected to the spark plug, and replace the spark plug if it's bad. Also, check for water in the fuel and drain if necessary, refilling with fresh fuel. If the engine is flooded, wait 5 minutes before trying to restart it. For issues like an excessively rich fuel mixture, a stuck intake valve, or loss of engine compression, contact an authorized service facility.
