For your Firman 10,000-Watt Portable Generator # 333-P08003 you will want to make sure that the engine and the battery switch is in the "RUN" position.

Next, if that does not fix the issue, check the physical batteries in the remote, ensure they are not dead; Replace if necessary.

Finally, the last thing to try is to reprogram the remote. If that all still does not work you most likely have a defective remote and will need to replace it.

In response to the "start" not working it can be a number of things. The most common reasons are:

1. Low oil level
2. Dirty air cleaner
3.Bad spark plug

To fix low oil level, you can fill the crankcase to proper level or place your generator on a level surface. For a dirty air cleaner, simply replace old air cleaner with new clean air cleaner. Finally for bad spark plugs, consider replacing your old spark plugs.

If this does not fix your issue let me know and we can troubleshoot further.
