How to fix a Wen Portable Generator that will not start?
- DDakota StevensonJul 29, 2025
If your WEN Portable Generator engine won't start, first ensure the 2-in-1 dial switch is correctly positioned: set it to CHOKE if the engine is cold, or RUN if it's warm. Also, check that the engine switch is set to ON (I) for recoil start or START (II) for electric start. If using LPG, prime the engine. Other potential issues include low oil (add oil), lack of fuel (add fuel), or contaminated fuel (drain and replace). A dirty or broken spark plug (clean or replace) could also be the culprit. For propane models, make sure the propane tank is turned ON.
