Ihave a Powerback 5250 generator(same as Porter-Cable and made by Devilbiss. It has 20 or so hours on a 10 H.P Tecumseh Engine. i hadnt started it for a month or two so today i went to start it. i waited 5 minutes for it to warm and just as i was about to plug power into the outlet, the generator died and low oil light flashed. i checked the oil and it was a millimeter above the fill line so i thought maybe it was just a weird occurence...nope, when i went to restart it the low oil light flashed and the engine wouldnt start. so what do i do now??

my thoughts were that maybe if i drained the oil and then refilled the genset it would maybe reset the float(im assuming thats how the low oil works) that is stuck or something. do u think this would work??
