Need any others let me know. And yeah..Ill clean it up a bit.

love the upside down power switch.

???

It works properly despite any issues with the markings. In the postion
its in now..it is indeed in the Run position.

Up is usually On, which the bezel shows, but the switch is marked 0 for
off in that position as shown in the photo. Sort of weird, unless that's a
pull start only generator and the 1 for really on switch just shorts out
the magneto like a kill switch.

Ayup...(Grin) pull start only and yeah...it just shorts out the mag.

Good catch!

I never remember which symbol is which.

I can only guess it's taken from binary and computer equipment where 1 is
on and 0 is off.

I checked some legit rocker switches (made by Arrow in the UK) was sort of
surprised that OFF is the top position pushed in and ON is the bottom
pushed in. This seems to be the opposite convention of toggle switches,
which I never noticed before.

Again we have people who live in the splendid isolation of the USA.

Top IN for OFF is common in the rest of the world.

I must agree that in this case the markings are confusing and could be
caused by using an avaiable switch to control the presumably 2 stroke
engine which just needs a closed switch in the magneto to stop the
engine.
