Have you tested the Exciter Stator resistance to be sure it's good? TM says it should be about 12 ohms.
Have you measured the DC voltage going to the Exciter Stator while the genset is flashing the gen head to verify the DCS is sending the flashing voltage?
If you do see a flashing voltage to...
There is no need to externally "flash" the gen head. THE DCS takes care of doing that automatically.
Excerpt from the -10 operators manual...

The connection between the A9 and the float switch is done with a 4 pin Molex connector.
To do the mod without cutting any wire could be done by building a little adapter like with a male and female Molex connector to tap into the FL2 circuit.
Something like this...
I'd suggest connecting your toggle switch across the FL2 float switch and not do it by providing power directly to the Aux Pump. Providing power directly to the pump will backfeed into the A9 possibly damaging it.
Wiring to the FL2 circuit would require removing the end panel covering the fuel...
Test "h" is verifying the generator is generating the correct flashing voltage. Also getting a reading between 4 and 12 volts indicates continuity to the static exciter. If there was a wiring issue or the static exciter was bad the voltage measured would likely be closer to 24 volts.
Test "j"...
I've searched and didn't find that resistor as well and a direct substitute that was previously available. An option would be to use a RE70G7R50C02 chassis mount resistor.
