My generator fuel solenoid is only partially engaging during "preheat" (You have to hold the preheat to turn off the safety circuits which engage the fuel pump and solenoid during starting). After about 20 seconds of it running at low rpm (maybe 1000) with preheat held, the circuit breaker on the generator pops and it shuts down
If I jump the solenoid it starts and runs just fine, and after about one minute I can remove the jumper and the solenoid and fuel pump run just fine.
My first guess is that I have a shorted glow plug that's pulling the voltage way down but its a little hard to get to so thought I might poll the forum first.
