  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's engine won't start, the propane tank might be OFF. Turn the tank ON. Also, the regulator might be stuck.
