GENERATOR TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM
SOLUTION
Generator will not start.
• Check fuel valve tap is in the ‘down’
position.
• Check the oil level is correct.
• Check 10W30 oil is being used.
• Check choke is in the correct position
(refer to starting methods).
• Check there is a spark - Remove your
HT (high tension) lead from the top of
your spark plug. Remove the spark plug
and reconnect the lead, then touch the
metal on the spark plug against the
generator frame. Gently pull the starter
cord mechanism, listen for an audible
‘ticking’ sound and/or small flashes
coming from the very tip of the spark
plug. If there is no audible ‘ticking’ and/
or small flashes, the spark plug may
need replacing.
Generator is difficult to
start.
• The air filter is dirty - clean the filter
• The fuel filter is dirty - clean the filter
• If the pull start mechanism is too ‘hard’
when trying to pull it, it may denote that
there is too much oil. Check the oil level
by using the dipstick and drain excess
oil from the oil sump bolt at the bottom
of the generator.
• If the pull start mechanism feels too
‘slack’ (i.e easy to pull), there may be
not enough compression in the genera-
tor engine for it to work properly. Please
contact SGS Engineering.
GENERATOR TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM
SOLUTION
No electrical output.
• Check the breaker switch is up.
• The device being powered is faulty.
• Check that the voltage output switch is set
to 115 or 230V.
• Check the connecting lead from the appli-
ance/tool into the generator is physically
sound.
Engine making “rev-
ving” sounds
• If your generator is ‘hunting’ (surging), it
may need a carburettor adjustment. Turn
the brass screw on the carburettor clockwise
slowly and listen for the engine sound. If it
does not improve then try turning the screw
anticlockwise.
See our help and advice section for videos and guides on
setting up, starting and maintaining your generator.
