Don't know which motor you have, but on a lot of the small 12 volt starters when you hit the starter switch the kick of the starter causes the starter gear to move out on the starter shaft and engage the teeth on the flywheel. The gear runs on a threaded starter shaft. The inertia of the starter gear causes it to start slow compared to the shaft so it screws itself out. When the engine starts or the flywheel turns faster than the starter gear in spins in back in. The starter gear may be dirty or stuck on the shaft. There is normally a rubber boot that covers the threaded shaft. You'll probably have to remove a few sheet metal guards to see it.

FYI: greg_g is correct. Those colors are used in the UK also at 220 volts, but one side of the 220 is bonded to ground or is a neutral as we refer to it. It is not unusual to find 220 3 phase in European homes. My Uncle in Switzerland had a 220 V 3 phase table saw with a tiny 3hp motor, but tons of power. If a European power cable has 2 ungrounded conductors it would have 2 brown or black conductors in it.

Plumbing solder is acid core and you use an acid flux, it used to contain lead but not anymore. Electrical solder is rosin core and does not require a separate flux usually for small wire, 60/40 is the tin/lead ratio. Acid and copper not a good combination. I made soldered connections for those big flat battery connectors on battery fork trucks and chargers, using Kester flux core 60/40 core solder and rosin paste and a torch. With the big cable more flux and heat are important to avoid a cold joint. Older corvettes have the battery behind the driver’s seat, you could check with Chevy for replacement parts.

Same tractor, same mower, I have no play in driveshaft or U joints and no vibration. My shaft slip joint is rectangular, no chance to get it out of phase. Just remember the "U"s at the ends of the shaft always line up, if not you can get a vibration

I've had this happen on my woods 750. A little cam slipped on the level and all the sudden the dipper was moving in to opposite directions. Check out the Woods site, they have all of the diagrams posted in a PDF. The lever set-up may be close to yours. My problem was a loose locknut on the bottom of the lever.

Your idea of a heater in good one. Up here in the frozen tundra we have outdoor control cabinets and transformers with heaters built in to keep things a little warm, but they are really there to prevent moisture build up by stabilizing the interior temperature. The good heaters have a thermostat and a humidity sensor to control the heater. This type heater is available from Hoffman engineering a cabinet manufacture. Be careful what you might choose to clean the switches. The LPS products are good and available from Grainger’s. I did a follow up call on a phone system once where someone thought that the spray cleaner they used to clean their shotgun would really clean out the dirt in the switches, but it melted the plastic just like it does the residue from a shot cup. I hate to step in it as I don’t know too much about your system, I’m new to this site and don’t know what the proper etiquette is, so if I’m taking the wrong approach let me know. It seems like your generator system has both local and remote controls. The more you have the more that can go wrong. Would it be possible to construct one good control panel that serves both remote and local locations? A local panel that plugs into a good multi pin connector locally, an extension cable with the same connectors would run to your remote indoor site where the panel would normally be. When you need to take the panel out to the generator and unplug the extension cable and plug in the panel there. This type system eliminates all of the local/remote toggles and puts the panel indoors most of the time. Hope this gives you some ideas.
