Reasons why a 5500 watt generator will not run a well pump?

It could be a number of things. Your pump's operating voltage could be 240 volts and your generator's output is only 120 volts. The generators output voltage can be found on the generator's nameplate. The horse power size of your pump could be too big for your generator. When dealing with motors remember that when a motor starts its inrush could be 300% of the full load amps. To see if this is happening, take the full load amps and multiply it by 3. Then multiply that number by the voltage that the pump runs on. This number will be the starting watts of the pump. If this number is higher than that of your generator and the generator almost comes to a stop when the load is applied,then the generator is too small.

Understanding Home Generator Sizing?

A home generator can be a useful tool in emergencies. When buying a generator, it's important to find a unit that will power all the necessary appliances and utilities in a home. Homes that have an electric pump for well water should have a 5 kilowatt generator for maximum performance. Homes with a municipal water supply will only need a 3 kilowatt generator. A whole-home generator will usually be 10 kilowatts and will require professional installation.

Because the carb is flooding - starting fluid (ether) dries up the piston and lets it fire - too much ether can damage your piston because it can strip it right dry


My suburban 96 5.7 engine wont start unless you spray starter fluid in carborator?

Does the engine continue to run on it's own after you gave it a squirt of starting fluid? If so, try replacing the ECT (engine coolant temperature) sensor. If the engine runs only on starting fluid but not on it's own I would suspect the fuel pump is bad.

make sure you are getting spark to your spark plugs. check and see if plugs are wet or fouled. buy a can of starting fluid and spray some into breather but not too much short spurts only make sure you have gas in car if gas is too low in tank it may have gone bad starting fluid should help to identify the problem

I have cleaned the carbraoter, and air filter seems to be in good working condition as well, the ATV also seems to have good compression.
