Re: I have a Generac 6500E. The electric start turns over...
If the pull start works, but the electric start doesn't try the following. Either give the battery on the generator a full charge, and if after a full charge it doesn't start, get a new battery.
Thanks Leigh. I'll give it a shot but it seems the electric start turns over the engine at a decent rate so I'm assuming the battery's OK. Is there any kind of extra wiring or a spark advancer associated with the electric start verses the pull start?.Thanks Leigh.

I has this problem after performing Schedule A maintenance. Called Generac. They advise this a trip caused by removing the fuse before work to prevent engine start up, The fix is to turn unit in off position and then press ENTER key.
make sure gas valve is open, and run switch is ON. I'm not a fan of B&S engines. I have a Generac generator with NO problems.Pull start the unit and let run for 5 mins. Turn off. Now try the electric start.If it does not start, you have an elctical problem when using starter. Make sure battery is fully charged before starting. Hope it helps.
Make sure the gas is fresh. Also, take off the carb bowl and look for signs of gumming. If there is gooey stuff in the bowl, then the carb needs to be cleaned.
I just purchased a Sigma 6500E generator, there was no instruction manual with it. Did get in stalled, but couldn't find out where to connect the battery cable, also there was nothing about the engine at all. Does the battery get charged when the generator is running ?
I would hope that information is available for this unit. thank you
