Most common questions used to investigate
Is the generator starting?
Check the main power switch on the generator. Is it turned ON?
Check the Spark plug. Is it dirty or broken?
Check the carburetor. Is it clogged or dirty?
Check the safety switch. Is it turned OFF?
Is the generator failing to stay running?
Check the fuel tank. Is there an adequate amount of fuel present?
Check the carburetor. Is there any debris stuck in it?
Is the load that is being supplied power by the generator greater than the quantity specified in the generator's output specification?
Is the battery not being charged fully or not giving the full output power?
Check the volt meter on the generator. Is the reading correct according to the generator's output specifications?
Common conclusions
First flip the switch because it is required to be ON for the generator to start.
Clean the plug or replace it with a new one and try again.
The carburetor gets dirty due to fuel left in it for a long period of time. First purchase a cleaning kit for the carburetor and clean it and then try again.
First flip the switch as the safety switch disables the ignition of the starter.
Contact the original manufacturer or a professional as the problem may be with the ignition coil or something else.
First fill the tank with the required fuel then try again as a generator cannot run without fuel.
As each generator has a capacity for load handling, if the load goes over the limit the generator is forced to shut down. Decrease the load by shutting of any non-essential electronics.
Contact the original manufacturer and file for a service or a professional and get the generator diagnosed.
Contact the original manufacturer or a professional as the problem may be with a faulty regulator.
Contact the original manufacturer or a professional as the problem may be with a faulty alternator or the battery itself.
For any further problems contact the original manufacturer and file for a service or a professional and get the generator diagnosed.
