Sometimes it is more expensive to fix the problem with the generator charging system than purchase a small 12v battery charger. I would purchase a 12v small battery charger (5A) that you can keep plugged into your house hold power. This will maintain the battery at full charge so it is ready to start when you need it.

First you should check your generator. why it won't start normally. Maybe the battery is used for a long time, maybe other reasons. Hope this article can help you. Why Diesel Generator Fail to Start

Convert manual to electric start

This may not be feasible. You will need to first get the nameplate data off the engine. Go to their website and search the parts pages. The flywheel may not have teeth on it first of all. Typically not for most small pull start engines. The block also may not have the necessary machining and tapping to mount the starter. Also it may not have a charging coil and regulator to recharge your starting battery. If you get that far.

If my generator shut off due to low lubricant will it reset automatically? If not is there a reset valve/button?

The pull cord is like a starter on a car (separate from the motor/engine). If the pull cord will not turn it could be because the motor/engine is seized.

Pentax Optio P80 battery won't charge all the way

If the rechargeable battery is more than 3 - 4 years old then the battery could be worn out. Rechargeable batteries have a finite number of charge and discharge cycles and will lose their charge capacity over time, i.e. won't charge to 100% and gradually the charge reduces until the battery won't charge up at all. OR The battery shows a 100% charge but when the adapter is disconnected the battery drops off to zero capacity in a very short time. If the battery drops to an unacceptable charge level then the battery needs to be replaced. Rechargeable batteries will fail if stored in a discharged state for long periods.

I have a kawasaki ga550a generator. i cannot start it. on the first pull i have spark. but by the time i have pulled the rope 3-4 times i completly loose spark. what could it be?

As a guess, I would think this machine has battery powered ignition and the battery is not being recharged because the engine doesn't run. Look for such a battery and recharge it externally. That should make the spark much hotter and it shouldn't decay quickly while attempting starting. Hope this helps!
