I hava a 20kw NG guardian gen. When it does its
I have a 400kw unit that does the same thing, I found the regulator needed to be execersized. when the unit starts I shut the isolation valve ahead of the regulator and then when it almost shuts of the gen. i open the valve back up and then everything is ok, hopefully after awhile it will work right.
My 15,000 watt generator has very little hours,
Its most likely the float, the fact that turning the fuel shutoff on full makes it die tells me its flooding out, and the fuel shutoff partially turned off is just regulating the fuel flow in place of the float. Time to take apart the carb and give it a good clean, if its running well otherwise with the shutoff partially off then its most likely just a sticking or bad float or float valve. You might be able to get away with taking just the bowl off the carb, pulling the float off by removing its pivot pin and cleaning the needle valve and use a q-tip soaked in some carb cleaner and clean up in where the needle valve goes, because it could be gunk built up on the end of the needle valve or up in the needle valve seat causing fuel to keep flowing past it. Also while your cleaning it put the float in a small container of gas for a while and make sure it doesnt sink! If it does it has a hole, but you should also notice the float has fuel in it when you shake it. Most newer engines now have plastic floats, and they don't usually spring a leak like the older brass/copper ones, but its still worth checking.
Long story short, yes, you most likely have a float/needle valve issue.
I have a Generac Guardian
The battery could be bad. Try to measure the battery voltage when you try to start. If the battery is bad then the voltage will drop quite low when the battery is loaded with trying to start the set. If you can borrow a similar battery you could just try with it.
Generator problems
yes
but battery charge voltage has to be 14.5-14.8 volts to charge a battery
batteries are known to be 12 volts but in fact at 2.2 volts a cell they are 13.2 volts capacity so 13 volts will not charge a battery

charge battery,fill oil,turn switch to on,try to jump the solenoid,if it turns over,it is the solenoid

How to replace oil pressure switch on 2000 windstar 3.8
First remove the ground wire from battery, next remove wires from alternator , take out three bolts from alternator, release the wire from the alternator by prying up plastic tie down, lift out alternator and set aside, next remove the three bolts on alternator base. before doing this use a 13mm wrench to release belt tencher it will lock itself,this will be found from under the frame. next remove belt an lift the base plate out, you will see the switched screwed into the block with a single wire attached ,unplug the wire an use a 21mm wrench or socket to remove the old switch an replace with new switch, now you are ready to replace everything in reverse an install ground cable on battery and start up an check for any leaks.
