How to make Generac generator run bypassing the low oil sensor and ... Remove all; Disconnect .... My ...

It sounds like it is starving for fuel. You probably need to rebuild the carb.

You have a fuel delivery issue that can be dealt with by cleaning carb or replacing it. If you do replace carb has to be adjusted to the motor.(idle, mixture)

If you could not start in spite of oil and gas change, checked gas supply, spark plug, ignition cables and coils (magnetos) and so on whitout success, then try this:
Your generator has a low oil level protection, which stops the ignition of the motor.
After "a couple of years" sitting without or with old oil, the level switch may have got lazy or stuck down.
If your oil level seems to be good, while measured, find the oil switch and try to shorten or disconnect it.
If you succeed in running the generator change or repair the oil switch.

I hope that this will be helpful, because I don't have your device in front of me, but some people rank such an answer with 2 thumbs, which means useless. Better dont rank.

I did not understand how you turn on generator, as it is always turned on.
If you use the ON/OFF switch it is stopping the prime mover.
If you reset the AC breaker without load, and it stops - it means that you have short circuit after the breaker. Check the output receptacles.

Sounds like you may have a wire shorting out. Check all ign wires and make sure one hasnt rubbed through. Maybe take off your front cover and make sure something isnt shorting out your coil contacts. Hope this helps

they do smoke if its petrol lol joke sounds like a short circuit check the connections

Sounds like your choke is not closed correctly when you first start the genset. Remove the air filter and look at the throttle plate. It should be closed with a hair line gap. With your finger you should feel very little play on the throttle plate. As you open the choke, you should be able to open it all the way once the engine has reached a hotter temperature. If the engine is still cold and your opening the choke all the way, it will try to die out.
