  If your Wen Inverter generator runs but does not support all the connected electrical devices, there might be several reasons: * A faulty extension cord could be the problem. Try using a different one. * The electrical device connected to the generator might be faulty. Try connecting a different device to check. * The generator might be overloaded, indicated by the overload light being on. If this is the case: 1. Turn off all electrical devices. 2. Unplug them. 3. Shut down the engine. 4. Wait a few minutes, then restart the engine. 5. Connect fewer electrical loads to the generator. * There may be a short circuit in one of the connected devices. Disconnect any potentially faulty or short-circuited electrical loads.

Add or replace oil if it's low. * Inspect the air cleaner for dirt; clean or replace it if necessary. * Examine the spark plug for dirt; clean it if needed, or replace it if broken. * Make sure the generator is on a level surface to prevent the low oil shutdown from activating. * If the engine needs maintenance, get a professional tune-up at an authorized small engine repair shop. * If the generator was tilted when adding oil or shipped side-down, remove the spark plugs, turn off the engine switch, and pul...
