  If your WEN Portable Generator runs but produces no electricity, first turn off and unplug any connected devices. Wait 5 minutes, then press the circuit breaker (or reset button). Ensure the total wattage of your devices doesn't exceed the generator's capacity. Check and replace any damaged power or extension cords. Try connecting a different device to rule out issues with the original one.

Why is the engine 'hunting' during operation of my WEN Portable Generator?

  If your WEN Portable Generator engine is 'hunting' (fluctuating RPM), check that fuel is flowing correctly through the fuel selector switch and that the fuel level is adequate. Inspect the air filter for clogs and clean it if necessary. Also, verify that the muffler or spark arrester isn't blocked, cleaning with a metal brush if needed. Finally, try using a 'gunk remover' spray on the carburetor jets to address potential blockages.

  If your WEN Portable Generator runs but doesn't support all connected devices, it might be overloaded. Turn off and unplug electrical devices, wait 5 minutes, and press the circuit breaker button to reset. Check the wattage of your devices and reduce the load. Also, disconnect any faulty or short-circuited electrical loads.
