>mr. ralph fullenwider- THANKS VERY MUCH--- oh i do love this web
site. if it were not for the site and the fine people that belong to
it i would have to sell my bird. thanks to all who responded to my
shout for help. this is about my 5th time to be in trouble and have
my self saved by the good folkes of this site. RALPH you are the one
that had the correct answer to my problem. i installed a tempory wire
from the battery to the start stop solenoid with a switch in line. as
i started the generator i turned the switch on to supply 12 volts to
the solenoid,generator ran great. while it was running i checked
voltage at the run contact side of the starter solenoid,no voltage.
as per ralphs idea i will replace the starter solenoid. i may even
have one in all my spare parts, will have to look. again thanks to
all who responded and may all your travels be safe.
