Ok, after two years figuring out why my generator would start then immediately shut off, I thought all was well. I have a different issue. Now when I try to start the generator, the green light on the circuit board blinks rapidly, the fuel solenoid also clicks as well as the fuel pump ( at least I think its the fuel pump, it is mounted behind the port engine on the top of the engine compartment). it looks like a fuel filter housing as well. Anyway, the engine starts for a second then stops. I can sometimes keep it running a few seconds by holding the choke closed. If I immediately try to start it again, the same thing happens but the clicking stops, although it still won't stay rinning. Any thoughts as to what is wrong???
