A couple of other things to look at are the solenoid that is in charge

I don't know if it's been mentioned but the halon (like) fire systems usually have a kill connection that can stop the generator in its tracks when you let off the heat/fuel pump switch. It will start because the fuel pump switch overrides the kill circuit from the halon system. You alligator clip the two connectors that come from the helm and it runs like a top.

 A couple of other things to look at are the solenoid that is in charge 

A couple of other things to look at are the solenoid that is in charge of shutting the engine down if there is a problem(overheat,etc). These are made to fail closed. SO if the solenoid gets wead and the electro-spring gizzie cannot hold the fuel valve open, it will close and shut down the engine(I think someone has already mentioned this). A probblem I had on mine was the electric fuel pump. It didn't just die.....it went through a somewhat slow death period as I did all of my diagnostics thinking I had solved the problem only to have it die again. While bleeding the engine, I noticed I couldn't bleed it because the pump was not pumping and I had stumbled upon the problem. Changed it and have not had a problem since. Good luck. Trawler on, John
