What are the top reasons a Generac generator won't start?

Most no-start issues on standby generators come from a weak or dead battery, a blocked fuel supply, or ignition/air problems. Check the basics first, then call for same-day diagnosis if you notice start-up delays, strange smells, unusual noises, or visible damage.

Quick checks:

• Verify fuel level and that the fuel valve is open.
• Test or charge/replace the battery.
• Inspect air filter for clogs.
• Check spark plug condition and connections.
• Make sure the unit isn’t in “off” or “exercise disabled.”
