What to do when your generator won't start and a hurricane is coming.

 (Always use safety glasses & gloves)
1 check fuel level.
2 check spark.
you can do this by removing the spark plug and laying it against any metal part of the engine with the lead wire ON IT. Pull the engine over 2-3 times.
No spark? Install new plug.
Spark? Good. reinstall the plug.
3 LOOSEN the screw at the bottom of the carburetor just enough to drain the fuel from the carburetor. (into an approved container) This will ensure fresh fuel is getting to the engine.
4. If it still will not start, then there is major damage & the generator will need to go to an authorized service center. Most Mfg's have a list. If you are in the  Nashville, Tennessee or Bowling Green, Kentucky area Stop by and we will look at it on the spot.
