I just got back from a few days of boondocking. The Kenowa 4k generator developed a problem while in use. It would start out running fine, then after about 5 minutes it would start missing. I had added a fuel filter in the gas line and thought the problem might be in it. After I got home and with a little help from my friend, we found the problem. It was the low oil switch. I unplugged it and all is well. One reason I didn’t consider the low oil switch was, I thought when it sensed low oil it shut the motor off, not make it miss? This was not the case with mine. By the way, the oil level was okay.
Don't know anything about the Kenowa, but the low oil switch should be connected to the "transition" which is a latch that grounds the ignition when the crankcase oil float closes. Your case is a strange one to me. Your transition may be bad????
