Dancing generator

I had my generator serviced at Adendorff’s Centurion. Since I received it back the generator does not switch off. It jumps around until the petrol runs out. The generator was standing at them for 8 days. I don’t recommend anyone take their generator to them.

I have contacted them waiting on a reply since Thursday. The generator was there for 8 days, the battery was not replaced because they could not find a battery, so now I have to pull the rope thingy. The started was replaced, and as a woman with no knowledge of generators I presume that is the thing where the key goes into…. AND after 8 days in the workshops the first time I use it it doesn’t want to switch off? I had no problems with my generator prior to the service, as mentioned the battery did not work and the little pipe was leaking petrol-hence my urgency to have it serviced since we were experiencing heavy loadshedding. I was worried the generator might catch fire.

I have to hold the key in the off position because the generator jumps around so much until the petrol has run out of the system that the key moves to the on position again. So I am back not wanting to use my generator and have spent all my savings on the service.
