Bad fuel, generator stored without
treating or draining gasoline, or

stop engine.
Spark plug faulty, fouled, or
improperly gapped.
Spark plug wet with fuel
(flooded engine).
Fuel strainer restricted, carburetor
malfunction, ignition malfunction,

CO-MINDER (CO Shut-off System) is
detecting high carbon monoxide (CO)
levels around the generator.
