This goes in the "How can I not know this by now" file. Our 12 kw Perkins has been getting a little touchy about starting up. So much so that I blew the glass 20 amp fuse in the Gen control box in the gen set while cranking it. I notice that even when warm, it take 2 or 3 tugs on the dash momentary switch to fire up the gen set. I have a "mystery" switch on the dash panel labeled "fuel pump" which I have not touched in our 3500 miles of travel. I am thinking it's for the gen set? If so, should it be on the entire time the gen set is on, or just for start up? When I turn it on it runs  and does not cycle off like an auto fuel injection pump.
