Thank all for your help. The generator is running.
The problem was my diesel inexperience, all I had to do was hold down the start switch for about 45 seconds and it started. Some of you suggested that, but I only held it down for 20 or so seconds.
I am still taking it in for some other minor problems and while I am there, I am going to have someone go over everything with me again. The first time, it was so much information to remember.
Again, thanks for your help this was another problem solved by this forum.
