Starts but does not run after a few seconds
Check oil level you should have it up to the first thread of filler hole without it over spilling if so drain to proper level if oil is contaminated with fuel and over filled your carburetor float may be stuck open,if so have the carburetor cleaned or serviced or you can try and clean it yourself.give me an update of your status,honda tech for 30 years
SOURCE: Honda EU3000is generator will not start with electric starter.
I'd say your battery in the generator is going bad or bad. They are very small and do not hold a charge for very long. The noise you heard was probably the starter shaft hitting the flywheel cogs. I doubt any harm was done as long as you did not repeatedly try to start it with the key. Why Honda put a battery in these is because they are intended for use in a campground setting, where they would be used on a daily basis and the battery would constantly charged. Whereas people like us buy them for emergencies only, they sit for long periods, and the battery goes flat, and the fuel clogs the carb and we get the surging issue. That's my 2 cents. When I brought mine home new, I Sta-bil'd the heck out of the gasoline, this past winter, on start-up, the unit surges. Of course the battery was flat.
SOURCE: The generator starts up runs for about 15 seconds and shuts down.
Check the oil pressure switch

SOURCE: Generac Generator won't stay running
I had this same issue with my NP 50G. I replaced the oil pressure & over heat sensor and fuel filter but the problem still existed.
After that I took the fuel bowel off the carb which had some dirt in it. Sprayed it with carb cleaner and that solved the issue. Hope this helps......
