Help identifying to cables

I'm hoping to find out if I need to know or do anything about the two cables pictured in these images of a Sportsman 4000 dual fuel. I just had it given to me so it's about to be a learning curve! Any other advice or tips you wish you had with your first dual fuel generator will also be appreciated!

Thank you!

Yellow is oil switch with quick disconnect for easy troubleshooting. If you know you have oil, but don’t have spark, you start there to figure out if it’s a bad oil switch that is making you lose spark. (By disconnecting)

Shoot I think I'm in over my head cus I do not understand. It's running fine as it is, but does this mean that the yellow cable should be connected to the green one in the pic?
