There should be a Kill Switch but they do fail, and are no necessarily replaced. The wire you speak of is most likely the wire that shorts the ignition to ground causing the engine to stop. Any momentary push button switch would be fine. Be sure your "wire" kills the engine when shorted to ground. If that is the case, then connect that wire to one fo the terminals on youir switch and connect the other to the frame of the engine, preferably under a screw or bolt. Mount your switch and you should be off to the races. As it were.

SOUNDS LIKE TO ME YOU HAVE A PROBLEM IN THE OIL ALERT SYSTEM, IF YOU HAVE THE REPAIR MANUAL IT WILL TELL YOU HOW TO TROUBLE SHOOT IT!!!

Either the intake valve is not sealing like it should, or the rings are worn, and crankcase vent is dumping the pressure into the carburetor.

if it's flooding the float may have a tiny hole which makes it not float as well and too much fuel will stall the engine...If it's not getting enough fuel to keep running then its usually because of a small piece of dirt blocking a hole..under the carb there should be a brass bolt...take that off and check that the two side holes are clear...then check the center orifice and blow it out...there is also a tiny little hole up near where the threads start...use a wire from a wire brush to make sure its clean....also clean out the bowl and then reassemble...this works 90% of the time for me

You should not have to cut any wires to install a remote kill switch. Most honda engines have an oil alert what will cut ignition if oil level is low. The switch actually shorts the itnition to ground just like the on / kill switch. Just unplug oil alert wire from harness and add a homemade connector with second lead and connect another wire to ground/frame of generator engine. When you short these two wires together it should kill engine. Solder these two wires to a female connector (Radio Shack) and just leave inside generator when you want remote switch. Attach switch to leads of desired length of male connector to mate with female connector at generator. Good Luck.
My first thought is the fuel tank vent it plugged. Try running it with the fuel cap loose and see what happens. If it now runs fine this prooves the vent is plugged. Some fuel caps have a small hole in it to vent the tank. Look at the cap to find the vent hole and clean it out.
