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 ElectroSwitch. Just about bulletproof.

Happy to have you here.

I think one of my primary concerns and insecurity is that it looks like the blue one was put in the fact. Knowing how the government operates and the abnormal splicing of wiring, it intimidates me to switch back to the metal one.
