Without knowing how the circuits are physically configured I can't say how I would do what I'm about to suggest. What I'm thinking is that I would gain access to each spot connected to the safety shutdown system and just put a jumper around those spots one at a time and then see if the gen will start. This will work if the shutdown system is looking for continuity before allowing a start. If it is looking for open circuits then I would have to figure a way to disconnect each item and then try starting. Once the gen starts I know what needs fixing.
