Kohler generator runs only when start key is pressed continually?

Continually having to press the start key is either related to an over heat, low oil, bad fuel solenoid problem or blocked fuel filter. Check oil and water sensors and operation of the fuel solenoid, also make sure you have a raw water discharge. One other problem could be the generator side is sensing an overload.|||test the ignition switch you are losing power to ignition circuit when in run position should remain except when key is off|||Its very possible that the switch is fine and you have a low oil shutdown. Check the oil level and correct if needed.
