  If your Westinghouse Inverter engine won't start, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the inverter has gasoline. If it does, inspect and clean the fuel delivery passages for any obstructions. Also, check and clean the air filter. Verify the oil level and add oil if necessary, as a low oil level shutdown switch might be preventing the unit from starting. Make sure the spark plug boot is fully engaged with the spark plug tip. Remove and check the spark plug, replacing it if faulty. Check and clean the spark arrestor. Finally, drain any stale fuel and replace it with fresh fuel.

  Your Westinghouse Inverter might suddenly stop running due to a few reasons. Primarily, check the fuel level and add fuel if necessary. Another cause could be the low oil shut down switch, so check the oil level and add oil if needed. Lastly, too much load can cause the inverter to stop. Try restarting the inverter and reducing the load.

  If your Westinghouse Inverter engine is running but there's no electrical output, try these steps: First, check if the reset breaker is tripped and reset it. Next, verify that the power cord’s plug connector is fully engaged in the inverter’s outlet. If that's not the issue, the power cord might be faulty, so replace it. Finally, the electrical appliance itself might be defective; try connecting a known good appliance to verify the inverter is producing electrical power.

  If your Westinghouse Inverter engine runs erratically and doesn't hold a steady RPM, it could be due to a few reasons. First, make sure the choke is not left in the CHOKE position; move it to the RUN position. Also, check and clean the air filter. Keep in mind that if applied loads are cycling on and off, changes in engine speed may occur, which is a normal condition.
