MEP804A Run-Start Issues

[SlateRidgeFarm]

Hello everyone, Daniel here brand new to this group. While, New - very appreciative because behind the scenes I’ve been reading many individuals posts on how to get my MEP804A generator functioning properly. To keep this inquiry short and sweet I wanted to get anyone’s opinion on the master switch. It seems like others; I can only keep the unit on if I hold the switch in the run position. Now, by a simplistic diagnosis. This would illustrate to be the problem? What I am very perplexed about is the commentary and lack of factual evidence that the original or proper switch manufacturer is Electroswitch or Kraus & Naimer. Any and all help/suggestions would be appreciated.

If blue plastic it's Kraus. Prone to failure.
If round and metal it's ElectroSwutch. Just about bulletproof.
