This part is prone to wearing out and can affect the running of the unit. Indications of this part wearing out are:
engine not starting (no spark produced)
engine not governing (uneven or over revving running pattern)
engine runs for a short time then cuts out.
Generator Guru says:
It is not uncommon for this part to blow. If your engine is not starting, remove the yellow wire to the CDI and try to start it again. If it starts you need to replace the CDI. Do not run the engine without the CDI for any length of time, as it cannot shutdown the engine if there is a problem with the oil pressure, which can result in damage to the engine.

Quick fix when the engine would not start on what i thought was a dead generator. Got amazing advice to disconnect the wire to see if it was faulty. It was. Now replaced and up and running. Thanks guru!

after fitting the oil alert sensor cdi unit to generator ,it started straight away with no problems ,but for some reason the part fitted was not on the generator so I don't know how it ran I bought the generator second hand and it runs great.
the man on the phone was spot on with the details to fix the generator. well done guru technition.
