Electric Start High Speed Gas/ Propane Generator without Starter Control Box 

 

 

 

This application matches high speed generators that do not include starter control boxes. Propane generators may be the type 
that ground the ignition to shut down or have an automotive type coil ignition. The wiring configurations are shown for both 
automotive and magneto type with or without fuel valves. High speed (3600 RPM) generators may need the crank disconnect 
hertz adjustment set to 20Hz or less to avoid over driving the starter. 

 

Low Speed Gas/ Propane Generator with Safeties 

 

 

 

The low speed gas/ propane generators also wire the same as in application 2. However, the installer should determine 
ignition type and oil and high temperature safety shutdown wiring. The GSCM is looking for oil and high temperature safety 
switches that short to ground on a low oil pressure or high temperature condition.
