Correction
Engine is running, but no AC
output is available.
1. One of the circuit breakers is open.
2. Poor connection or defective cord set.
3. Connected device is bad.
1. Reset circuit breaker.
2. Check and repair.
3. Connect another device that is in
good condition.
Engine runs well at no-load but
“bogs down” when loads are
connected.
1. Generator is overloaded.
1. See
Generator Capacity
.
Engine will not start; starts and
runs rough or shuts down when
running.
1. Engine switch set to off (0) position.
2. Fuel valve is in off (0) position.
3. Low oil level.
4. Dirty air cleaner.
5. Out of fuel.
6. Spark plug wire not connected to
spark plug.
7. Flooded with fuel.
1. Set switch to on (I) position.
2. Turn fuel valve to on (I) position.
3. Fill crankcase to proper level or
place generator on level surface.
4. Clean or replace air cleaner.
5. Fill fuel tank.
6. Connect wire to spark plug.
7. Wait 5 minutes and re-crank engine.

Power Ratings:
The net torque rating for individual gasoline engine models is labeled in accordance with SAE (Society
of Automotive Engineers) code J1940 Small Engine Power & Torque Rating Procedure, and is rated in accordance with
SAE J1349. Net torque values are derived at 3600 RPM and are taken with exhaust and air cleaner installed. Given the
wide array of conditions in which they are placed, the gasoline engine may not develop the rated net torque when used in
a given piece of power equipment. This difference is due to a variety of factors including, but not limited to, the variety of
application limitations, ambient operating conditions (temperature, humidity, altitude), and engine-to-engine variability. Due
to manufacturing and capacity limitations, Briggs & Stratton may substitute an engine of higher rated torque for this engine.
* This generator is rated in accordance with CSA (Canadian Standards Association) standard C22.2 No. 100-04 (motors
and generators) and PGMA (Portable Generator Manufacturers’ Association) standard PGMA G200 (Standard for Testing
and Validating Performance of Portable Generators).
