Does anyone know how to disable the CO Guard feature on a Briggs generator? We run this thing in a shed that’s outside of the camp. It’s a pain in the arse even with a fan ventilating the little shed.

You could always just have electricity run to the shed. Problem solved.

Are you asking how to disable a switch or am I missing something?

We don’t want to go through the wall if we don’t have to. I didn’t ask for other suggestions, i simply asked if anyone knows how to disable this feature.

For those of you crying about someone dying, for one, it’s in a shed that only the generator is kept in. And two, how the frick did you survive all these years without this sensor on your generator?!?!

You should pipe the exhaust outside. The engine is breathing exhaust also, amazing that it even stays running.

But the switch is either normally opened or normally closed. Unplug it, if the alarm stays then jump the leads together.

There’s a ventilation fan in the shed. Obviously it’s not quite big enough.

We didn’t write down the engine model before we left so i can’t download the wiring schematic without that number. Any idea precisely what mechanism the sensor uses to kill the engine? There are a few ways to do it. Plugging the sensor isn’t an option because a sensor malfunction will kill the engine as well. This is why i believe it might not be as simple as just cutting a wire. A jumper may be required but not certain where to connect the jumper.

It likely breaks the key switch circuit, so it's probably just a normally closed switch. Odds are if you trace the wire that goes to the key switch you'll find the sensor. The oil level switch is on that circuit also, make sure you dont unhook that.
