Generator problems we fix
Will not start
Stale fuel in the carburetor is the top cause after months in storage, followed by spark plugs and low-oil shutoff.
Starts but no power
Loss of output from the voltage regulator, brushes, breakers or outlets.
Surging or hunting
A dirty carburetor or governor adjustment makes the engine speed rise and fall.
Shuts off under load
Fuel delivery problems, a clogged air filter or an overloaded unit.
Recoil or electric start problems
Broken pull cords, weak batteries and starter faults.
Oil leaks and smoke
Worn seals and gaskets, or oil overfilled past the mark.

Generator repair questions
Still not sure? Call us at (647) 879-1756 and we will tell you what your machine needs.
Why will my generator not start after sitting?
Fuel left in the carburetor turns to varnish in storage and blocks the jets. Cleaning the carburetor and running fresh fuel fixes most generators that have sat for a season.
How should I store a generator between uses?
Either run it dry or fill it with stabilized fuel, change the oil, and start it every month or two so it is ready when you need it.
My generator runs but gives no power. Can that be fixed?
Usually, yes. It is often the voltage regulator, brushes or a tripped breaker. We test the output and find the fault before recommending a repair.
