  If your Westinghouse Portable Generator engine won't start, there are several things to check. First, ensure the fuel shutoff valve is in the ON position. Next, make sure the generator has gasoline. Inspect and clean the fuel delivery passages if the fuel flow is obstructed. If your model has an electric start, check the battery output and charge it if needed. Also, check and clean the air filter. Verify the oil level is sufficient. Ensure the spark plug boot is fully engaged with the spark plug tip and that the spark plug isn't faulty. Finally, check and clean the spark arrestor. If the fuel is stale, drain it and replace it with fresh fuel.

  If your Westinghouse Portable Generator's engine is running but there's no electrical output, start by resetting the circuit breakers and checking for any overload conditions. Ensure the power cord's plug connector is fully engaged in the generator's outlet, rotating it clockwise if using the 240V outlet. If the power cord is faulty, replace it. Try connecting a known good appliance to verify the generator is producing power. Also, check if the GFCI outlet has tripped and press the reset button if needed.

  Poor performance or engine stalling on propane in your Westinghouse Portable Generator can be caused by: * A kinked or crushed propane fuel line. Inspect the propane fuel line and remove any kinks or obstructions. * An improperly positioned fuel selector valve. Rotate the fuel valve fully until the pointer is directly in line with the desired fuel. * Gasoline not purged from the carburetor before switching to propane. Close the propane fuel tank valve. Move the fuel selector switch to gas. Start the engine and allow the engine to run until the gasoline has been consumed in the carburetor. Begin propane start up procedure.
