Why won't my Wen Portable Generator start?
- RRyan BennettJul 30, 2025
If your WEN Portable Generator's engine won't start, there are several potential reasons. First, ensure the engine switch is in the ON (I) position for recoil start or the START (II) position for electric start. Check the fuel level and add fuel if necessary. If using propane, make sure the propane tank is turned on and that the engine has been primed. If the engine is filled with old or contaminated fuel, drain the tank and carburetor, then replace it with fresh fuel. Inspect the spark plug for dirt or damage, and clean or replace it as needed. If the carburetor is air locked, turn the 2-in-1 switch to OFF, remove the bolt from the bottom of the carburetor, take off the carburetor bowl to allow it to reset, replace carburetor bowl and reinstall the bolt.
