fuel or oil level
there is a low oil switch that shuts it down wen the sump oil level gets to a dangerous level
if the oil level is correct , it could be that system that has failed
Overcrank means that it tried to start and couldn't. It will go through 5 crank cycles and then stop with this alarm. Switch to off, hit enter to clear fault and then try to start in manual. Check to make sure you have fuel and pressure is 11 to 14 in WC.
Most likely your carb. is gummed up. Drain out any old gas [over one month old] and replace with new. Change the spark plugs. And, add a carbeurator cleaner [ from any autoparts store]. Then start it up and let it run, restart it and let it run, restart it and let it run until it will run for as long as you want it to.
All generators need to be run once a month. All things from the tank to the and including the carb will get gummed up with dried out fuel.
I have a whole house generator and a 5500 watt gen set on my motor home. I keep fresh fuel in the stand alone house generator in California in case of a bad earthquake. I drain the gas after every run and keep all vehicles full of fuel just in case.
Run gen sets at least once a month or pay pay pay!!
Start with making sure your oil lever is not over full. If it is it may be getting into the crankcase breather hose that goes to the carburetor hence the white smoke. Sometimes also you can blow a gasket in the breather system and it will do the same. Check for oil leaks in the breather system. Hope this helps. donnyb60
change spark plug and add small amount of starting fluid to breather pull with all settings in proper place if it is going to start it will or you have other problems
