Generators are designed to be durable and reliable, but they can occasionally malfunction. Here are a few of the most common reasons why a generator might not be functioning properly:
Generators require the right amount of oil to run smoothly. If the oil level is too low, your generator might shut down or fail to start altogether. Low oil can cause the engine to overheat, leading to serious damage. Regular oil checks and changes are an essential part of generator service.
It might seem obvious, but low fuel is another common reason why a generator might stop working. If you’re unsure about the fuel levels in your generator, our technicians will inspect the fuel system and check for any other potential issues that may be affecting fuel flow.
Your generator’s battery starts the engine. Over time, the battery can lose its charge or become damaged, making it difficult to start your generator. If your generator isn’t starting, our team can check the battery and replace it if needed so your generator is always ready for action when you need it most.
A clogged air filter can restrict airflow to the engine—this can cause it to run inefficiently or not start at all. If your generator isn’t operating as it should, it’s worth checking the air filter to see if it needs cleaning or replacing.
A dirty or worn-out spark plug can prevent your generator from starting or cause it to run poorly. The spark plug is responsible for igniting the fuel in the engine, and if it’s dirty or damaged, it can lead to misfires or difficulty starting. At Thomas & Galbraith, we offer thorough generator service, which includes inspecting and cleaning or replacing spark plugs to ensure your generator starts up smoothly.
The carburetor mixes air and fuel for combustion in the engine, but clogs can cause a lack of power or even a complete failure to start. If your generator is struggling to perform, our team can inspect and clean the carburetor so the air and fuel mixture is properly regulated for peak performance.
Sometimes, the issue with a generator may be as simple as the choke lever being in the wrong position. The choke regulates airflow during startup, and if it’s not set correctly, the engine may not start or run properly. Our technicians will check the choke lever as part of our routine generator service to verify everything is set up correctly for optimal starting performance.
