The answer to 'generator outlet not working' is that there are several common causes, including a tripped circuit breaker, loose or damaged wiring, or a problem with the generator itself. Symptoms may include no power at the outlet, flickering lights, or the generator running but not providing power.
To troubleshoot, first check the circuit breaker and reset it if tripped. Next, inspect the outlet and wiring for any loose connections or visible damage. If those are fine, the issue may be with the generator itself, such as a faulty alternator or other internal component. In that case, it's best to call a professional electrician to diagnose and repair the generator.
