HELP--- generator wont stay running

[chet geist]

Ed,

Try putting a charger on your generator battery and see if it will keep
running. I had that same problem once and found out the solenoid wouldn't
stay in due to low voltage. Just a thought. Are you guys going to make the
Xmas L.S.B. rally in Kerrville?

gen will start and run for about 2seconds then stop. what is happening
is the start -stop selonid closes off the fuel to the injector pump.
now i can make the thing run if i reach over and hold the cutoff lever
on the injector pump open. it will run all day. have looked at the oil
pressure safety switch. have disconnected it and tried to run gen with
the same results. what am i not looking at. need some ideas
