Replace battery with new proper sized.

Group 26R
12 Volt
525 CCA Minimum

need a meter to diagnose and test circuit and wiring ---check breakers also

It is possibly a transfer switch issue, not the generator control board. Have an electrican kill utility power, let it start and run, then disconnect the sensing wires in the ATS. If it stops problem is ATS

Question edited for clarity, full 'make model (what it is)' Question moved from Cars and Trucks. $262 for a new tank and cap! https://generatorguru.com/6500e-6500w/ One of these looks similar https://www.google.com/search?q=tool+shed+sg6500e+generator%2C+gas+tank+cap ..

Have somone hold the start button while you measure the voltage across the battery. If it is less than 11 volts, then the battery is bad.

Check the wiring from the utility through to the autostart control.; make sure all connections are solid and the wire itself is in good condition. New wire is no guarantee, several times I've had wire with a break somewhere in the reel. A non-contact voltage detector may helpful; start at the controller end, go to the other end of the wire, and see where you lose the voltage detect. It will detect voltage up to the break if you can keep the detector close enough to the wire.

Regarding the advice about "Flashing" a generator. Do you people even know what that means? What you are doing is messing with the capacitor that is part of the voltage conversion. Likely you are burning any shorts out of the capacitor. Has noting to do with the fields or coils or rectifier. So if you are having issues then test the capacitor and replace it. Try your flashing and see if you don't fry the rectifier. It amazes me that people will blindly follow something they don't understand "hoping" that something good will happen. But if a new generator is what you want then give your old one away instead of trashing it.

The manual does not specify a minimum voltage for the battery. It merely defers to battery manufacturer specifications.

Measure the battery voltage with a DMM. A fully charged battery will be 12.5 to 12.7 volts. Any reading less than 12.25 will likely be problematic for the generator system. Remove battery and have it load tested or replace with a known good or new battery.
