What should I do if my propane generator is not working?
Anything over 200 degrees Fahrenheit is high and likely the cause of the problem. Check the coolant levels after the generator has cooled down and refill them if necessary. Check the oil level and air filter. Change the oil if it is has not been changed in several months.
Why does my generator run for a few seconds then stops?
Low Fuel – Sometimes a very minor problem like less fuel in the fuel tank can also cause your generator to run for a few seconds and then stop. The generator may have enough fuel to get started a couple of times or run without the loads but when you out the loads, it stops.
What happens if you run a generator with low oil?
Running your generator at low oil levels can severely damage the engine and pose a significant hazard. Before disconnecting the low oil sensor, ensure that your oil is topped off and your oil filters are not clogged.
Why is my generator not running on my roof?
It could be a carburetor problems because I use the generator so seldom but I am aware that one is suppose to start and run under load for 20 minutes once a month. Cannot do now. It did run last year doing the 20 min run. Would a can of fuel cleaner work? I am thinking about having it removed. I have a 135 watt solar on roof.

What happens when you turn off the genset?
This is what happens when you stop your genset. Pressing and holding the stop switch for a few seconds causes the control board to cut off the 12 volts to the ignition and fuel pump (and/or fuel solenoid valve) causing the engine to stop. On models equipped with magneto ignition, the control board grounds the magneto kill circuit.
Why does my generator not start after disconnecting it?
If the generator starts after disconnecting this, the low oil sensor was very likely the culprit. Usually, the sensor will work if it is plugged in again after running the generator for a few minutes, although if this fails the sensor will need to be replaced – which can be a time-consuming task that involves taking apart your engine.
