We check out a Westinghouse Igen4500 generator that the customer brought in when it would start but would light up as an overload and die right out
We show the full diagnostics and how to repair the issue we find
We also show how to check oil and check / replace the spark plug
If your generator leaks gas, new generator will not restart after fueling, starts then dies out, surges, generator will not start after putting fresh gas in it, Westinghouse generator surges or bogs down when under a load, flashes overload after starting and then dies out and will not restart
We have a lot of questions from customers during the hurricane season wanting to know why their generators will not start back up after putting fuel in but they do not realize they are at the bottom of the tank where all the moisture and inferior quality fuel is. Make sure to use ETHANOL FREE fuel for best results
