Possible Cause

Choke OPEN.
Out of fuel.
Bad fuel; generator stored without
treating or draining gasoline, or
refueled with bad gasoline.
Low oil level caused Oil Alert to stop
engine.
Spark plug faulty, fouled, or
improperly gapped.
Spark plug wet with fuel
(flooded engine).
Fuel strainer restricted, carburetor
malfunction, ignition malfunction,
valves stuck, etc.
CO-MINDER (CO Shut-off System) is
detecting high carbon monoxide (CO)
levels around the generator.
