Perkins Generator Starter wiring

[Gregory OConnor]

I would check the fuel shut off electric valve if any? If you wired
it up ok the first time and it started ;just clean the wires and
check for damage and ground outs in those wires. If it turns over
strong and does not start I think it is fuel shut off; hot wire the
fuel shutoff from the battery and try to start it. Or hotwire the
fuelshutoff from a Portable battery jumper by grounding the neg. to
the block and running the hot to the Fuelshutoff If it has a full
amp battery and turns over slow, could be the new/rebuilt starter is
no good. remove the starter and have it load tested at Pepboys.
more info-- Fuel shut off if electric takes high power to open but
little to keep open, when you turn the on button you may hear the
fuleshutoff click open. when the starter is activated some times the
fuelshut off is robbed of power and closes due to weak wires ,
battry or poor connections. when you stack wires on a post both
sides of the wires must be clean I use a razor blade and sand paper
