What are the top reasons a Generac generator won't start?

Most no-start issues come from fuel, battery, maintenance, or ATS problems. In Idaho Falls and Rexburg, we most often see:

• Inadequate natural gas/propane supply or undersized piping/tank.
• Weak or cold battery; a battery insulator helps in sub-zero temps.
• Overdue maintenance found during annual checks.
• Automatic transfer switch fault that fails to trigger start.
