The new switch arrived and is installed. The problem is solved. I took apart the old switch and the inside contact washer and electrodes were really corroded.
Now for my next problem.
The automatic transfer switch from Shore power to generator does not work I must hit the case with a mallet to get generator power to connect.
What are the drawbacks if I remove the switch and put in an outlet near the generator and just plug in the power cord when it is not plugged into outside electric. This would allow me to start the generator from inside and since the cord is plugged in the generator will power through the cord. If I had electronics I would be worried about them as the Jennie came up to output. However I do not, I think the the fridge should not be affected and since the microwave would not be running that should be okay I THINK. Anyone got any thoughts on my plan?
