Generator won't start - Northstar Generator 9 Hp, 5500 Watt, Gasoline

Generator is out replace with new

I would let it cool completely and see if it starts again. There are no specific timers that say after detecting a low oil shutdown don't start for X amount of time. It is more than likely a choke setting as it is hot, and you may now have flooded it.

did you try cleaning the conductor that goes to the spark plug if not try to clean it with a real fine sand paper it should do the job.

Hi,
I have a EM5000SX. My problem is my generator will not start unless I turn the fuel selector to off. Then crank it until it does start, turn the fuel back on. Run's normal . I run this generator for my cabin every weekend.

Could be vapor locked. Prime the line and try again.

Check to see if you model has a puel pump, f it is a Brigge & Stratton 10 hp I am sure it does

Hello, ushicks/me hillybilly. One question how old is the fuel in then generator tank,Hey. If it has a fuel filter replace it. Modern gasoline is junk fuel and after a few months it looses some chemical proprieties. GB...stewbison
