TAKING CARE OF UNEXPECTED PROBLEMS

ENGINE WILL NOT START

Possible Cause
MAIN switch is in the OFF position.
Out of fuel.
Bad fuel, generator stored without
treating or draining gasoline, or
refueled with bad gasoline.
Low engine oil level caused Oil Alert
to stop engine.
Spark plug wet with fuel (flooded
engine).
Spark plug faulty, fouled, or
improperly gapped.
Fuel filter restricted, fuel system
malfunction, fuel pump failure,
ignition malfunction, valves stuck,
etc.
MAIN switch is left in the ON position
without starting the engine within 30
minutes.
CO-MINDER (CO Shut-off System) is
detecting high carbon monoxide (CO)
levels around the generator.
Correction
Turn MAIN switch to the ON position
(see page 25).
Refuel (see page 20).
Drain fuel tank (see page 89).
Refuel with fresh gasoline (see
page 20).
Turn the MAIN switch to the OFF
position. Add engine oil. Then turn the
MAIN switch to the ON position and
restart the engine.
• Turn MAIN switch to OFF position
and pull starter grip swiftly five times
or more. This may dry spark plug.
• If it still not start, remove spark plug
and dry.
Gap or replace spark plug (see page

Take the generator to an authorized
Honda Power Equipment dealer, or
refer to the shop manual.

once and then to the ON position.
Review the location of the generator,
such as by placing it in a well-
ventilated outdoor location (see page

automatically by CO-MINDER, press the
CO-MINDER reset button to restart the
engine (see page 56).
