The Fuel Pump switch allows you to build up pressure before you use the start switch to turn the engine over. The Stop switch closes a solenoid that blocks the flow of fuel to the engine just like the Generator Stop switch does. To stop the engine, you must hold the Start/Stop switch in the Stop position until the engine dies.
Michael, I only have the "on-off" switch. I turn on the engine by turning the ignition key and turn it off by pushing the momentary switch down until the engine stops running. It may be that when I turn the key that a fuel pump is activated. I have no fuel pump switch for either engine, or genset.
