Cummins Generator Won't Start? Causes, Checks and Common Problems

A Cummins generator that cranks but won't start, or won't crank at all, usually comes down to fuel, air, compression or electrical. Here is what our mobile mechanics check first, plus the other problems we see most on Cummins generator equipment.

South Florida

Why a Cummins Generator Won't Start

Dead or weak batteries and corroded cables, a failed starter or relay, air in the fuel system, clogged fuel filters, a bad lift pump, seat and neutral safety switches, glow plug or intake heater faults, and low compression on high-hour engines. Other searches we hear about Cummins generator: won't start, shuts off, overheating.
