Any tips on locating the oil sensor?

777 -- no surging -- it starts, runs for about 10 secs, then stops -- then repeats.

oil sensor or a very very low gas pressure/trapped air in gas lines

really only things it can be.

From someone else's previous experience, my vote is on problem with gas line from main to generator

Air in the line, valve size

Not likely to be their problem.

Just confirming what others have said. They know more than I do

You should also be able to look at the gas meter coming to your house. If it’s below a 2.5lb delivery meter you likely have supply issues.

Ours also has a regulator at the generator for cutting the pressure from the meter that should have a gauge on it that you can verify pressure or any inconsistencies with.
