TROUBLESHOOTING
POSSIBLE CAUSE
Water in gasoline.
Weak spark at spark plug.
Engine stored without treating or
draining gasoline, or refueled with bad
gasoline.
Dirty air filter.
Item plugged in is defective.
Generator is overloaded.
Circuit breaker is tripped.
An occasional light "knocking" or "ping-
ing" under heavy load is not a cause
for concern. However, if the knocking
or pinging occurs under normal load
at a steady engine speed, the problem
may be with the brand of gasoline being
used.
