Well another Satisfied customer and their generator back up and running!!
Generator Starting… Then Shutting Down? We Found the Problem! ⚡
A customer called because their Generac generator would start normally, run for a few seconds, and then shut itself off.
After diagnosing the issue, we found the culprit—a failed oil pressure switch. Even though the engine had proper oil pressure, the faulty switch was sending a false low-oil signal, causing the controller to shut the generator down as a safety precaution.
✅ Diagnosed the issue
✅ Replaced the faulty oil pressure switch
✅ Generator back up and running reliably
