Expert Reply:

Since we do not offer Generac generators, I don't have the ability to verify the compatibility of replacement parts, but you are able to determine what will work based off of the capacity and cycle of the solenoid that is currently being used in your generator.

The Pollack Starter Solenoid # PK5230701 has a 12v/100amp capacity and from what I was able to determine with my research, doesn't seem to be the same solenoid that your Generac generator uses.

I would instead recommend checking out the Pollak Starter Solenoid - SPST - Off-On - 12 Volt - 200 Amp - Intermittent Duty - Short Case # PK52331 . You'll want to remove your solenoid and verify that it is an intermittent duty solenoid (it should say INT somewhere on the sticker) and that it is 12v. If this is true, you will be able to use this as a replacement part.

If you can send me a picture of the solenoid you've taken out and are trying to replace, I can verify whether or not it's going to be a good match for you.
