Generac cuts lots of corners. That's why people buy them because they are CHEAP. Unfortunately they own about 70% of the residential and light commercial market so it's the demon we live with. That being said parts are pretty easy to get. Documentation is good (better than a lot of others!). Anyways why not try a DynaGen ES52 and chunk the whole thing? Technology has come a long way since the year that was made.

You say that the idle control dose nothing, the idle control, when on should do nothing unless there is a load placed on the unit, then it should automaticly kick the rpms up so there is power to run what ever is attached, when it is turned off it will kick up the rpms and stay high whether there is something on or not, and is usually used when somthing like a comprssor that will take a large pull and posably stop the generator before it has time to ramp up. So what is it doing other than this?

To check the oil the dip stick should be threaded in all the way. If it isn't over filled, have you checked the switch to see if it is shorted out. The only other thing I can think of is the carb may be flooding and letting to much gas in, but they usually run like. when that happens, let me know The governors work off oil in the engine to move a ' paddle wheel ' if the oil is overfilled the paddle will not be able to slow the engine down.
