Generator woes

(1/3) > >>

sleek:
It wont flippin run. A 4 stroke gas gen set. It hets fuel air and spark... has compression.  Well, i say it has spark. I suspect a weak one. It jolts me with a screw driver, but wont spark a plug. Id like my generator to work again. Never had this problem before. Bad condensor? Dirty points? Its covered outside but its mighty wet and humod in coastal north carolina right now.

Marc St Louis:
What I do is pour a small amount of fuel, maybe a teaspoon or less, down the spark plug hole and crank it over a few times.  If it doesn't fire with that then there's a spark issue

DC:
I'm assuming you've changed the plug?

Iowahedge:
Fresh gas? Is acting like it’s flooding (plug super wet after cranking for a bit). 

Zuma:
Does the plug get wet after cleaning it (wire brush) (S).Gap plug to specs. Check or leave off air filter? :P
Pour out old gas??  -C-Check manual for switches (cut off). :-M
 Mine don't run either but I got a broken knee. >:D O:) Good luck ;D
