Have an MEP-803A. Can start it with both the start, prime control on panal, and with the dead crank switch but cannot shut it off without pinching the fuel line to cut off fuel. Not getting any power to the 120 outlets. Cannot get acceleration from the frequency adjust knob. Only half of the guages on the panal show activity. HELP!!

Have you given it a visual check to see if everything looks to be in place or if anything looks disconnected or missing?
Is our Fuel solenoid missing or the arm disconnected?
Also, when starting it from the Dead crank, your electric fuel pump should not run, if it is, perhaps you have a wiring issue that is powering things that shouldn't be getting power from the dead crank.
Even the e-stop button doesn't shut it down?
I think it's going to take a bit more investigation to get us moving in the right direction.... What about posting a video so we can see more details?
I'd like to see what the fuel solenoid as well as what the control panel ( gages ) are doing when you start it from the dead crank.
