  If your Wen Portable Generator starts but isn't producing electricity, the circuit breaker may have tripped due to an overload. To fix this, turn off and unplug the connected electrical devices. Wait for about 5 minutes, and then press the circuit breaker to reset it. Make sure that the total wattage of the devices doesn't exceed the generator's capacity. Plug the devices back in one by one.

  If your Wen Portable Generator won't start, make sure the engine switch is in the ON position. Also, check that the fuel valve is turned ON and that there is enough fuel in the tank. If the fuel is old or contaminated, drain it and refill with fresh fuel. Check the oil level, adding or replacing oil if necessary. Inspect the spark plug, cleaning or replacing it if it's dirty or broken.

  If your Wen Portable Generator's engine won't start, the propane tank might be OFF. Turn the tank ON. Also, the regulator might be stuck. Turn OFF propane tank, disconnect hose from onboard regulator, spray a small amount of penetrating oil into regular inlet, then gently insert a pin into inlet to break valve free.

  If your Wen Portable Generator runs but has no electrical output, the voltage regulator could be bad. Check it with a multimeter and replace if necessary.
