Genset

2012 ka genset was running fine and just quit. It won’t start won’t even make a sound could it be. When pressing the start button it barley lights up very dim
  • I'll get my Johnny Carson Karnack hat out of the attic. I'll be right back.

    KARNACK SAYS.....BUY A VOLT METER. Check the battery. Check the starter solenoid. Check the ignition switch. Look for loose connections. check oil level. won't start/run with low oil.

    Do you have a meter to check battery voltage?
    Do you have a portable charger you can put on the battery?
    Do you have a store to purchase these items?

  • Are the battery terminals and grounds clean and tight? Is the battery charged?
    Did you try jumping it?
    Try the simple, easy things first.
