Thanks! I will try to get the full fault code. I would like to try to fix myself before getting involved with the “CW Stealership” again. Pretty funny! Their service appointments are always a month out anyway so I have time.
I use the generator regularly so the last time it ran well was the day before I dropped it off for the routine maintenance.
I will be learning now to change the oil myself and looking for another place to service the generator in the future!

Following a fault shutdown, the indicator light will repeatedly blink 3 blinks or 4 blinks at a time. Three blinks indicates a service fault. Press Stop once to cause the two-digit, second-level fault code to blink. (Pressing Stop again will stop the blinking.)
The two-digit code consists of 1, 2, 3 or 4 blinks, a brief pause, and then 1 to 9 blinks. The first set of blinks represents the tens digit and the second set of blinks the units digit of the fault code number. For example, Fault Code No. 36 appears as:
blink-blink-blink—pause—blink-blink-blink-blink-blink-blink... Four blinks indicates that cranking exceeded 15 to 20 seconds without the engine starting. Note: Fault Code Nos. 3 and 4 are first level faults. Avoid interpreting them as second-level Fault Code Nos. 33 and 44, which have not been assigned as fault codes.
Maybe the fault code will be something easily checked without returning to the CW Stealership.......if that's what you chose to do. One question is: when was the last time you ran and exercised the generator without issue?
