FAQ’s

  • Q: What should I do if my generator does not start?
    • A: Check if there is enough fuel, ensure the spark plug is not faulty, and check the oil level. Also, make sure the fuel valve is  open and the ignition switch button is ON. If the engine is flooded  with fuel, wait a few minutes before attempting to start again. Ensure the choke is in the correct position.
  • Q: Why does my generator shut down during operation?
    • A: This could be due to a low oil level or a clogged spark arrestor. Check the oil level and clean or replace the spark arrestor if necessary.
  • Q: What should I do if my generator cannot supply enough power or overheats?
    • A: Ensure the generator is not overloaded and that the air  filter is clean. Also, check if the choke is in the correct position.
  • Q: Why is there no AC output from my generator?
    • A: Check for poor cord connections, open circuit breakers, and loose wiring. If these are not the issue, there may be a problem with the engine governor or dirty fuel valve. Clean the carburetor  if it is dirty and running lean. Also, check if the choke is in the correct position and if there is an overload.
  • Q: Why does the circuit breaker keep tripping?
    • A: The circuit breaker may trip due to faulty power cords or devices. If the circuit breaker is still too hot, allow it to cool down before resetting.
