Many times, running the engine with this unplugged for several minutes before reconnecting the oil sensor wire will resolve the problem. If the generator starts once this has been unplugged, then the oil sensor is not working. The location of this wire will vary slightly from generator to generator. This is the wire running from engine’s body into the low oil sensor, see the images below. To check this, disconnect the wire coming from the side of the crank case. If the spark plug is properly gapped, deposit-free, and still not igniting, it may be that the low-oil sensor isn’t working correctly. 7) The low-oil sensor isn’t working properly If there are no sparks, the ignition coil may need to be replaced. If there are now sparks appearing between the spark plug boot and engine, then the spark plug needs to be replaced. Put the end of the spark plug wire near the engine’s body and pull the recoil starter to check the ignition coil. If there is no spark or if the spark appears weak, remove the spark plug and cap. If the sparks are strong with a blue color, then the ignition coil is good. To test the plug, pull the recoil starter while holding the spark plug’s body to the engine crankcase.

Make sure the electrode is properly gapped (check the specifications page of your manual to see the proper gap for your particular model). Clean the spark plug using a small knife or a similar tool as needed. To check this, use the spark plug wrench included with your WEN generator to remove the spark plug and check for deposits.
Overtime, deposits and buildup can appear on the spark plug. For a video guide on changing your generator’s carburetor, click here. To avoid this in the future, try to run your generator at least once a month, and never store it for long periods of time without draining the gas tank and the carburetor first. Clean out the main jet (the brass nozzle found in the central stem) with a needle. If this still doesn’t work, you can remove the entire bowl from the bottom of the carburetor and clean out any stale fuel. To fix this, shut off the fuel valve, and then open the carburetor drain found at the bottom of the carburetor’s bowl. If you stored your generator for a long period of time without first draining the carburetor, the odds are high that it may be clogged by old gasoline. 5) The carburetor is clogged or air locked If there is an in-line fuel filter between the fuel valve and carburetor, also check it to make sure it is not blocked. This will help you determine what part of the fuel line (if any) is clogged up. Secondly, unplug the outlet hose from the intake side of the fuel valve to see if gasoline is freely flowing or not (have a bucket ready in case the gas flows fine). First of all, if there is a vacuum relief valve on top of the gas tank, make sure that it has been opened. If the valve is set to OPEN but the fuel still does not properly flow, you can do two things. Make sure that this is set to OPEN to allow fuel to flow into the proper channels. The fuel valve controls the flow of fuel from the gas tank to the carburetor. If the gas tank is full, but no fuel is getting to the carburetor, there may be a problem with the fuel line or fuel valve. If the engine is already warm (for instance, if it was running for a while and you are refueling), the choke lever should be set to the RUN (open) position for starting. Once the engine ignites, move the choke to the ON/RUN/OPEN position for operation. Either way, it should be set to closed (also referred to as the start or the choke position) when starting the generator. On others, the choke is builtin to the power control knob (such as with the WEN Inverter series). On many generators, it can be found directly above the air filter on the side of the unit. Depending on the style of your generator, this choke lever may be positioned in a few different places. The choke of any engine should be set to “closed” during startups and then moved to “open” once the engine warms up. 3) The choke lever is in the wrong position If the gasoline is older than two months, replace it with fresh gasoline).
Add fresh gasoline when necessary (to avoid clogs and hard starts, do not use old or stale gasoline. 2) It’s out of gasĬheck the gas tank to make sure a sufficient amount of gasoline remains in the tank. Keep in mind that attempting to run the generator on an uneven surface might cause the low-oil sensor to trigger despite there being enough oil. 1) It’s low on oilĬheck the oil level in the crankcase. Just breathe easy, and follow these simple instructions to help diagnose your unit’s problems.
Don’t worry: we are going to get through this together. So your generator is having some problems.
