Your generator looks like its a single phase 6.5 kva. two things that a must with your machine. Make sure your machine is running at 52.5 hz and 230 volts to give it optimum loading capabilities

Make sure that the throttle linkage is all there and not damaged/misadjusted, then get a manometer and check your inlet gas pressure. Gas pressure should be 8 inches of water column and stay there running or not.

Sounds like fuel starvation, probably from a clogged fuel filter or dirty carburetor

Change its spark plug....then see any change

If your guardian looks like the one in the video then it should be easy to change if you can reach it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4U74bKZOPZ0

Charge the battery and if that doesn't work you need to check the starter relay

If it worked before the main board was replaced it is pretty darn likely the problem is one the repair created, go old fashioned common sense tells me this. Call the repair company and discuss it with them, if they refuse contact the manufacturer customer service and apply some pressure

Is on/off switch in "on" position - set choke? fill with gas? Is switch on gas line to carb in "on" position. If does not start then you either have a spark or fuel delivery issue and you need to trouble shoot the various systems. Ig as was left in carb last time used, it is possible that the gas jelled and clogged up the carb and now the latter needs cleaning/overhaul.

Sounds like the voltage regulator is not functioning properly.

You need to check the rectifier first to make sure it has AC power on the 2 x AC terminals and 13.8V DC on the DC side, if you have AC and no DC replace the rectifier, if you have no AC check the stator windings

Not knowing which model youa re talking about it is tough. Obviously NEVER wrap foil around a fuse ! All I can tell by your post is that power is on the fuel pump all the time now, I would say that you have damaged a control board.

It needs a cold weather option, one that heats the oil and also the carb so the LP gas does not freeze the carb. A common problem

follow red thick wire on right side of the solenoid the starter is on right side rear hidden by the air box that surrounds the gen.

carburetor restricted due to long time storage drop carb fuel bowl unscrew the jet and pull down the fuel tube clean them and your generator should run much much better

if the noise is coming from the solenoid attached to the top of the starter replace it for the windings are shorted out causing the noise you hear

This is likely a problem with the voltage regulator or the wiring. If this unit has brushes/sliprings for field excitation check the condition of those.

I had to find out through a Generac Service Tech that the Idle screw needs to be turned down so it doesnt surge. I found this out after a surge blew $400 worth of electronics out in my home. I have a surge protector now I recommend you do the same. DG
