The fuel solenoid is not activating.  I have heard of there being a solenoid but never understood how they were supposed to work.  

When I manually move it, it slides very easily and it starts right up.  When I release it unactivates and generator stops.  

So at least I have found the issue with your help, now to  troubleshoot that buried system.  

If the fuel pump is getting voltage while I crank, does that tell me that the fire extinguisher, low oil pressure and over temp circuits are not faulting to deactivate fuel shut off solenoid?  It would cut down the troubleshooting significantly.

Here is my shade-tree mechanic understanding ... There are two windings in the fuel solenoid. A high current pull-in winding that ignores the safety and oil pressure/temp inputs and a second winding that holds the rod in place as long as safety circuit is not activated allowing fuel to flow to the injection pump. On my Yanmar there are two of those "ice cube" solenoids that control the current to the Fuel solenoid. They are located on the side of the engine just below the fuel solenoid near the manual start switches on the flywheel housing. They are cheap and easy to replace.
