Electric Start Does Not WorkUpdated 4 months ago
If you happen to be having issues with your generator not starting with the electric start feature, please follow the suggested tips down below.
- Ensure your battery is connected. As we ship our generators with the negative terminal disconnected. (CLICK HERE) On instructions how to connect battery
- We would first recommend to test the Battery For Voltage. Please note, the battery should read 12.6 or higher volts when NOT under load and 11.5 to 12 volts under load.
- We would then recommend to attempt to start the generator with the recoil (Pull Start System)
- If battery tested to be good and the generator starts with the pull start, we would then recommend to start up the generator by holding down the push button start to initiate the start up.
- If you happen to get no feedback and the motor does not try to start up, it can potentially have a faulty Start Switch / Push Button Start. However, we would need to test the starter motor to determine this

Potential Part Replacements Based off Symptoms:
Battery: If the battery tested to below required voltage specs or does not hold a charge after attempting to recharge the battery may require for this part to be replaced.
Start Switch / Push button start: we would recommend replacing this part if the battery and starter motor tested to be good and you do NOT get feedback when trying to start generator (NO CLICK, NO SOUND, as if the push button does not give any feedback whatsoever)
Starter Motor: If the battery tests to be good, the push button start does give you feedback (Clicking Sound), and upon testing the starter motor it does NOT spin may require for this part to be replaced.
