      Laurie PhillipsAug 11, 2025
      If your Westinghouse Portable Generator starts and then shuts down, it could be due to several reasons. First, ensure that the generator has enough fuel by refueling it. Also, verify that the engine oil level is correct. A dirty air filter can also cause the engine to shut down, so clean it. If the fuel is contaminated, drain the fuel tank and refuel with fresh gasoline.

      If your Westinghouse Portable Generator won't start, several factors could be at play. First, ensure that the generator has enough fuel by refueling it. If the fuel is old or contaminated, drain the fuel tank and refuel with fresh gasoline. A dirty air filter can also prevent the engine from starting, so clean it. Check the engine oil level, and if the low oil LED is illuminated, turn the battery switch off and add engine oil. If the spark plug is wet with fuel (flooded engine), wait five minutes, turn the battery switch off, and pull the recoil handle rapidly several times; if it still doesn't start, remove and dry the spark plug. Also, inspect the spark plug to verify that it is not faulty, fouled, or improperly gapped; gap or replace the spark plug and reinstall. Finally, make sure that...
