Greetings Dave, Which Generac controller is on this 6kW EcoGen? Some of the Generac controller instructions I have seen state that once the controller control panel fuse is removed and/or the connections to the starting battery are disconnected the exercise programming will need to be re-entered. If you have not already done so, you may want to check the controller programing and specifically the exercise feature programming. I'm wondering if this may be causing the issue you are observing. Date and time may need to be set for the controller as well. I believe the EcoGen models may come from the factory ready for 2-wire start, so hopefully the start feature programing does not need to be re-entered as well. The appropriate Generac controller instructions for the controller model you are working with should provide the password and lead you through the necessary steps.
I also like the suggestions of checking the 2-wire start circuit conductors. I would remove these 2 wires from their connections at the generator and see if the issue persists. Best of luck. Let us know how this issue works out. Best regards, ----MATT Matthew Sirum P.O.

After swapping in a new battery the other day the generator now starts and runs when its start switch is positioned to Auto. . The OutBack inverter w Mate2 is not calling for an auto start. . Even when the EcoGen is disconnected from the off grid house it still starts and runs every time the start switch is set to Auto. How do I clear this problem and get this gen back to normal?
