If your Wen DF360iX generator won't start due to lack of power, possible reasons include:

1. Fuel isn’t running properly through the fuel valve.
2. The air filter is dirty or clogged.
3. The muffler or spark arrestor is blocked.
4. There is gunk in the carburetor preventing a proper fuel/air mixture.

Check each of these components and clean or replace as needed.
