We have a Maxa ER 5000 Tecumseh Generator, changed the oil and spark plug, no fire. How do you check the low oil switch?

Question edited for clarity.

Engines only need 3 things to run

Fuel (is it fresh, carb clean, jets clear)
Compression (test with compression gauge)
A spark at the right time (remove plug, ground it, check for spark)

Hi,

Please check for spark fuel. Please double check that the generator isn't in extremely cold temperature when you're running it. After making these adjustments, please attempt to run your generator again.

I would also be careful and use a volatile air detector to make sure that if the generator works that it's not given off toxic fumes around it.

Thank you.

Maybe you can aks the supplier who supply the generator to you directly. Because only he knows clearly about their generator

first look at the oil level some generators have a low oil shut off then remove the front cover of the engine and unplug the small wire on the side of the coil then try to start it if you get spark back the its a wire problem if still no spark then the coil is bad

How to change the brushes of the generator.

Does it have a puel pump? I know the Briggs motors have a fuel pump works of piston vacume

It's almost certainly gummed up gas in the carburetor. Get some carb cleaner, and some spray instant start. Drain the gas from the tank and put a small amount of 50/50 carb cleaner and gas in the tank. Remove the air cleaner, open the choke, spray a little instant start into the carb and start it. It may fire just a couple of time. Keep the choke on to try to pull a bit of gas through the carb. You may have to do this a few times. Once you can tell some gas is flowing, open the choke slowly to keep it running until you use up the 50/50 mix. Then try a small amount of straight gas in the tank to be sure it works right, before you refill the tank. Make sure you use a stabilizing additive in any gas that you store for more than a month. good luck, Al K

Check the fuel filter. My company designed hybrid generators that are far more efficient. They use batteries to power your equipment, and the generator runs intermittantly to recharge the batteries when needed.

Try changing the spark plug.
