What to do when your generator will not start. If you have tried the basic start up procedures and the generator won't start there are a couple generator fixes you can try. The first is doing a quick clean of the generator carburetor. Remove the air filter cover and air filter. Open the choke all the way up and spray carb cleaner in the hole that goes into the carburetor. Also, with the engine cold and the fuel shut off valve turned off, open the drain plug by removing the bolt on the side or bottom of the carburetor. Catch the small amount of gas in a cup that drains out and spray carb cleaner in the bolt hole to flush any grime or fuel deposits from the carburetor that may have gummed up inside. Wipe up any puddles and let it air dry for 5-10 minutes before assembling and trying to start the small engine.
If the generator wont start after trying this then the next step is to use starting fluid. Turn the fuel line ON and the on switch to ON. Remove the air filter and spray a small amount into the carburetor. Quickly pull the cord a few times. If it doesnt start spray a little more starting fluid in the carb, put the choke on, and pull the engine cord again a 2-3 times. If this doesn't work, stop and let the carb air out. Too much starting fluid can foul the spark plug because it is putting to rich of a gas mixture into the engine. Let it air out for 5 - 10 minutes where the starting fluid will evaporate. Then try starting the generator again, not using starting fluid, and then using starting fluid. Usually this will get the motor to start.
In this video we are using a Generac 6500 generator with a pull start, but electric start generators would have similar steps, just turn the key vs pulling the cord. As will most all small engines, good generator maintenance will help the engine start easier. This is a good thing to do when preparing for winter storms, electrical outages, or other storm preparation.

Psalms 23: The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters,
he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me...
Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
