I agree with the fuel problem. Experienced something similar with my 018 and finally, after cleaning the carb several times, replaced the fuel pump. Now, I had other problems too, like low compression, which made starting a little difficult. When everything was running well, the generator head...

Looked over the wiring diagram this morning and what is stated above about the oil pressure switch is not entirely correct. The relay, which is controlled by the oil pressure switch is energized via a diode during cranking at which time the oil pressure switch action is bypassed. If there is no...

Thanks, much appreciated!

Thanks Kenny, the generator runs good, just that little problem starting it and that is a new development, like I said, probably the fuel pump. Below are two pages from the troubleshooting procedure as per TM.

Well, at least mine has an oil pressure gauge (as well as the oil pressure switch). You may want to check the resistance to case/ground. The NC should read zero ohms when the engine is not running and the NO infinity. Those are the terminal markings on the switch, if that wasn't clear.

What does the low oil pressure switch (to the left in the image below) act on?

Eric, when you say "no spark", do you mean that it actually doesn't have a spark or just isn't starting? Mine has developed a starting problem, but a couple of squirts of starting fluid gets it going. I suspect that the fuel pump isn't doing its job at low cranking rpm, because it runs...
