Questions and answers
Good Afternoon, I have a problem with this generator model 98839. A mouse was in the generator engine area and our dogs tried to get the mouse and destroyed the wiring in the area of the low oil switch. All that is left are 2 shredded and broken green wires with a white strip and I have no idea what to do with them. I do have the electrical diagram but there are no colors for the wires. I wish to by pass the low oil switch and resistance load. What do these wires control?
