It is not the oil switch you need to adjust the heads open the side and check on the settings for both in and out and adjust them according to the manual...in the winter sometimes they do not like heavy oil so check the oil weight and try lighter one

How can I replace carburetor?

I believe the electric solenoid is a fuel shut off. solenoid needs energized, normally with switch 12 Volts. other then float bowls are the carbs. identical, if they are switch bowls, should work. If not you will have to add switched power to solenoid, the link below looked similar to yours.

Have a mcculloch fg5700ak portable generator. 7 yes old. Used 1 time for 20 hours. Sitting up since. Gas was drained so carburetor fine. Turn everything on and pull cord and it just won't kick on over and...

Make sure fuel tap is turned on. Tap the bottom of the carburettor with a wrench to make sure the float isn't stuck. Is the ignition on/off switch in the on position? make sure the oil level is ok as these usually have a low oil cutout which stops the motor when oil gets low. All that being ok give it full choke and it should start. Remove the sparkplug and check there is spark across the electrodes. (earth the thread part of plug on motor) If no spark replace the sparkplug.

Generator not making electric

You have a faulty inverter board on the unit. I would warranty the generator in this case, or have the manufacturer send you out a replacement board to swap yourself.

It starts with the switch fine but when i let go of the key it cuts off

Check for faulty low oil sending unit or oil level low or dirty oil (some generators have a fuel cut-out solenoid at the carb ). Key switch will override the low oil safety. Easy test, remove wire from oil sending unit. If unit runs, and oil has not been changed in a while, service engine and retest.

FG5700AK Low oil switch cuts engine almost off and then back on. Changed to lighter oil 10-30 and did not help. If I unhook the low oil switch it runs fine

Use a pressure gauge and make sure you have at least 10 psi, if you do then replace the oil pressure cutoff switch if this switch is bad no oil you put in it will fix the problem. If you don't then you have internal engines problems.

A lighter weight oil will only make the matter worse because its thinner and could actually cause the pressure to drop even further. If you have a low pressure problem you could try a heavier weight oil but its only going to increase it a little bit.

Have an fg5700ak runs ok but no power output what

Typical diodes are 10 amp for these. The stator and rotor both have VERY low resistance readings. The reading typically will be below that which will register MEANINGFULLY on the digital meters.

My generator had 10 amp diodes with surge protectors across them. One of the protectors shorted and generator output was zero. Mine is a 6KW diesel silent unit.

Replaced the diodes with 70 amp ones with surge protectors that have 20 times the energy absorbtion as the originals. Unfortunately this required some lathe work to make holders for the diodes and the surge protectors to ride on the rotor.

Used the light bulb trick to remagnitize it once diodes were replaced.

Coleman Powermate 6250 only runs with choke closed/air restricted

A call to Elliott Small Engine solved my problem - Oil Guard. I had checked the oil and it was just a little low but seemed well within the normal range. I was told to add more, bringing it just over the Full mark. It seems that the low oil protection system is very sensitive and shuts down the engine even when the oil is withing 1/8" of the mark. I added about 2-3 oz of oil and no more problems
