Just did this sensor bypass. Worked perfectly. Couple of adjustments - No need for the special T-25 bit tool. Just simply remove the two 8mm hex bolts that holds the bracket in place. The sensor is attached to the bracket. The two unused wires - Gray & Brown can be covered with heat shrink tubing and pinched closed on the ends. Besides the access cover having to come off. The Red side panel frame must be pulled off as well. Remove the 6 allen head bolts on the side frame and the 2 allen bolts on the front to allow it to come off. The front panel is held in place by 6 philip screws. The Propane/Gas selector knob has a deep philip screw that must be removed to pull the front panel. I soldered the wires together for a more durable connection.

Mine started doing the same thing in a very well ventilated area. It ran with no problems for a year. Same thing happened to a Honda generator. It’s a built in point of failure. Thank you again, Obama administration for making our lives so rich and full.

I use HVAC aluminum tape to cover the holes in the sensor on this gen, and also the 1400 watt works without all the wire mods. You must use the aluminum HVAC tape........On the 5000 watt all you have to do is remove the two 8mm bolts and cover the hole in the sensor. mind doesnt shut down any more for CO. 8 min. mod

@@flybob3480 Id have to pull mine out of the truck, and stare at it. I couldn't tell you off the fly. They said choke module? I did some looking at the owners manual parts break down, and some searching on web. There are 2 stepper motors on the top of the carb. Do they want you to unplug these? I saw a bunch of stuff about stepper failures, and the symptoms were surging and no starts. I'll say this. Mines been trouble free. I change the oil every 50 hours, and I'm just around 600hrs now. If you pull your side panel on the left side, you should see the air cleaner box and carb. Best case is follow the wires, and see where they lead too? Another module? The back panel? I don't know. I think stuff made out of chinesium is sometimes intentionally made hard to find solid info for maintenance and repairs, so people give up fixing and buy another. Good luck.

I need a bit more advice. I've wired the four pin to the two pin. I see the remaining two wires are looped back to the four pin connector. Is there more i should know about this? Should the four pin remain disconnected from the generator? I've tried several combinations to no avail. Any ideas on what im missing?

@@mikebolton3816 It must test for oxygen as well as CO2, if it doesn't see oxygen it shuts down. Just guessing I tried stuffing a asbestos type material in front of the sensor without taking the Allen screws out and pulling off the side. Nope.. didn't work. Looks like I'll have to try to duplicate your method. I wish your video was more detailed. Where did you get the connector, exactly which wires to rewire, close up. Like that. Your video is the only video for a 5000. Thanks for you help, it's very appreciated 👍

The CO shutoff system is a critical safety feature which can help to prevent the risk of sudden illness and death resulting from the accumulation of undetected CO, which is an odorless, colorless gas impossible for the human senses to detect. The health and safety of our customers remains our top priority and we recommend discontinuing any use of this product without a functioning CO shutoff system.

@@harborfreight Nice lawyers speak 🙄 As I mentioned... This is for an install on a work truck, in a confined box. The unit is on rails, to be pulled in and out of storage. The CO sensor wouldn't allow it to be run, because the exhaust was being deflected from the storage box, back out, directly into the sensor. It ran for maybe 30 seconds. I installed a 6" fan, at the base of the storage box, to evacuate any accumulated gases. The "CO SENSOR" with no disable, assumes everyone's a moron. I made it clear, this is for a unique circumstance. What the unit needs, is a resetting switch, to disable the CO sensor.
