Back when I worked on the longest/highest drawbridge in North America we had a
bunch of generators for the concrete vibrators, the low oil sensors would
regularly quit on them, we usually just yanked the wire. Look around, find the
switch, yank the wire, see if your problem is cured...

Subject: [MBZ] OT generator ??
I got my generator running this afternoon. It was totally cruddy I had to clean
all kinds of jelly from the carb. Fired up on first pull after that. I know....
Anyway the thing has always had this tendency to run maybe 45min or an hour
then just shut off. It's been doing that today too. Give it a yank and it fires
right up again. A coupla times it almost quit like that but then caught again
and ran. It has a low oil shutoff but plenty of oil so I don't think that is it
but maybe that is the issue, bad switch or something? (Oops just did it
again.)Any ideas?
Whatever it is annoying. Runs fine otherwise (now that I cleaned it up). It is
a 5500W Troybuilt B&S engine the PO left for me. Could be 10-12 or more yo..
