Check if has brushes. They could be wore by now.

If it were mine, Id first check online to see if replacement parts were available. You could also find other guys posting about the same issue and if it was fixable of just wearing out. If not, Id sell it on marketplace to someone who just needs to run lights say at a fishing camp or something. Get $62 bucks for it, and in 62 of your own and get another one.

I got it on Amazon, new ones were 100$ more, this one was listed as used, said it had some cosmetic damage, lmao, the box had been repaired, almost destroyed, the recoil start thing was bashed in, took and hour to straighten it. It's a duro pro 4850, tried the gas and lp, looks like it's good to go!

First off I am not an electrical guy. But I recently used a 2000W generator that would run a light bulb but that's about it even thought the engine was running fine. I had it checked out and voltage and cycles were not to specs. Went to the junk pile.
