Generator starts and stops repeatedly without transferring load, no code displayed.

Safety first: Turn the generator OFF, shut off fuel supply, and disconnect the battery negative cable.

• Inspect and clean governor linkage: Ensure all linkages between the governor arm and carburetor move freely. Clean debris and lightly lubricate pivot points.
• Replace fuel filter: Locate the inline fuel filter at the gas inlet and replace it with a Ryobi‑approved filter if it appears dirty or old.
• Clean carburetor jets: Remove the carburetor bowl and clean jets with carburetor cleaner and compressed air. Reassemble with new gaskets if needed.
• Check gas pressure (professional): Have a gas technician verify that fuel pressure at the generator meets Ryobi specifications.
