Read through some of the old posts and thinking it could be a sensor and most likely oil pressure. It ran fine prior to this-they all do! I go through my normal starting sequence of click on tap start wait for it to prime-shut switch back off then back on to crank. Extended crank-always did that and as soon as it fires i release the starter and it will run for about 2 seconds and shut down. Light starts blinking fast on the start rocker switch. I tried it 4-5 times and same exact thing. Runs for a second and shuts down. All fluids are fresh this year and at proper levels. The immediate shut down makes me think that it might not be detecting oil pressure. Would the other sensors (if bad) let it start for a couple seconds then shut it down?
I don't have a preheat switch on the panel that overrides the safety's. I hear the switches on the genny itself may override the safetys. I've never tried starting it from those. I plan to "jump" the terminals and see what happens.

Any other thoughts?
