What to do if my Westinghouse Portable Generator engine will not start?
- VVictoria Moon DVMAug 12, 2025
First, refuel the generator if it is out of fuel. If the generator was stored without treating or draining gasoline, or refueled with bad gasoline, drain the gasoline tank and refuel with fresh gasoline. Also, check and clean the air filter if it's dirty. If the low oil LED is illuminated, turn the battery switch off and add engine oil. If the spark plug is wet with fuel, wait five minutes, turn the fuel selector switch to the propane position, and pull the recoil handle rapidly several times. If it still doesn't start, remove and dry the spark plug. Finally, gap or replace the spark plug if it's faulty, fouled, or improperly gapped, and then reinstall it. Also ensure that the CO sensor has not been removed or modified, and return it to its original configuration if it has.
