Generator acting up

Would love to know more about the electronic portion you are referencing.  I have #789 w/ Powertech and the Fuel Stop solenoid is causing issues.  When i hook to strait 12v it opens/closes - when I attach back to the gen, it stays in the closed position, or opens briefly and shuts everything back down.  When its removed, the gen runs perfect and I can manually shut off by feeding a small straighthead to push the fuel stop.

Any info much appreciated Smile
