Have you tried to run the generator from the generator start stop switches by unplugging the start stop switches from the dash? Small wire bundle (square plug) from the left side of the generator heading toward the dash just unplugs to test the inside switches. Some times those can short out.
As I remember the temp sensor is almost directly behind the oil pressure on the back side of the motor, other words about 8 to 10 inches away straight back out of sight unless you pull the right side panel or use a mirror.
Should show in the schematics in the manual item 10 page 121 of my manual. Thermo Switch

I believe i did try starting it with the remote (dash) switch disconnected. I know i unplugged it when running the diagnoses for the start/stop switch. I’ll try it again once the rain stops, since I don’t remember.
I was afraid the temp switch was on the back of the head. I haven’t pulled the top cover off so i wasn’t sure. I guess i should try to access that also just to be certain it’s good. Was hesitant because the way i read and understand it the gen should start and run 5-6 seconds then shut down if either the low oil pressure or temp switch is bad.
I am going to try n add oil (reads 1/2 full on dipstick) also before i test the oil pressure switch with my volt/ohm meter. The manual says to top it off before testing, so i figure that wouldn’t hurt. It doesn’t mention anything about a low oil shutdown, but it wont hurt, especially once i get it started. Lol
Thanks again for your your insight.
