MEP-803 Fuel Solenoid Releases after startup

[Ken275]

Good afternoon, I need some help. Generator will start, oil pressure comes up like normal. When i release switch from start to run the solenoid opens shutting itself off. I can keep it running if i hold the fuel rack open. I don't have any fault indicators, test button does light everything up. I swapped relays around, cleaned terminals and plugs. Checked low oil pressure switch.

Problem fixed. The nut on the solenoid was tight not allowing it to move in the slot.
