*I DON'T WANT TO SCARE ANYONE NOW*...*I hope this is not the problem you
are having*!* If your generator controls work the same as ours*,
something to check is the voltage to the gen. control box. Our Bird had
similar problems as you have described. The gen. ran fine for months,
then became a hit/miss to get it started. Then it would not start/run at
all. I took the Bird to a generator specialty shop for testing. The
problem turned out to be the alternator (that creates the 110/220 power)
was not putting out voltage to the control box. That voltage is needed
to start/keep the gen. system running. All the alternator windings were
history, caused from a lack of frequent use. Our Bird got a new alternator.

*Again, I hope this is not the problem you are experiencing. Good luck.
