My new Champion quit!
Ran fine for a coupla weeks, although it used a little oil. Shut down once and topping it off made it fine. Today, it quit for the second time, and it was down a shot glass or two. Topping it off did not help. A new plug did not help. Outside, in the bright sun, with my poor eyesight, I could see no spark.
I thought the low oil shutdown might need to be reset, but jiggling the generator did not help.
Gas tank full and fuel tap on. Cycled red switch and voltage switch.
Removing the air cleaner foam and shooting starter fluid as DW pulled the rope did not help, either. Choke, no choke, zilch.
Generator is level.
Anyone know where the low oil switch is located? Does it shut down the ignition by making a ground connection or breaking it? I am guessing that bypassing the low oil switch might be a good place to start.
Any suggestions or experience relating to this?
