Step-by-Step Guide: How to Use Starter Fluid on a Generator

Using starter fluid on a generator involves a specific sequence of steps, typically used when the engine is having difficulty starting on its own.

Follow these instructions carefully to use starter fluid on your generator according to the provided method:

1. Open the choke.
2. Remove the feed tube cap.
3. Shake the starter fluid can and spray just one second into the feed tube.
4. Replace the feed tube cap.
5. Close the choke (put it in full choke or starting mode).
6. Pull the starting cord.
7. Adjust the carburetor lever to achieve a smooth running engine.

This method aims to provide a quick burst of highly volatile fuel directly into the engine intake, helping it ignite and start the combustion process. Always follow the generator's specific operating manual for additional guidance.
