generator won't stay running?

[ronmarabito2002]

Check and see if you have a fuel bleed valve on the passenger side
of the engine going into the injector pump. If you do, it should only
be open about 1/2 to 3/4 turn. On my unit, the lock nut had vibrated
loose and the valve was fully open and returning all the fuel to the
tank rather than the pump.
