I have that same generator, and mine would do the same, stop and go, change fuel filter, change fuel pump, found out 2 thing wrong, first was the fuel line were wrong, switch line and now have lot of fuel to the pump, but no fuel out of pump to engine, check the pump and no electric power to the pump, took pump off and benched tested it and it run fine, even the old pump run fine on the bench, so jumper the pump from the battery and the gen run just fine, called power tech in Florida and Jeff said the relay has gone bad, he said change out relay or put the gray wire to the hour meter, or wire it direct to the battery with a switch, did the last thing and have had no trouble now. The only thing is now I turn on the pump first so fuel is going to the engine then start the Generator, don't forget to turn off switch when you turn off the Generator.
It would be easy enough to put a "buzzer" on that circuit. When getset it in...no buzzer...genset OFF...buzzer kicks in.
Whats causing the battery drain beats me...??? For now...( short time fix) I'll just turn the battery breaker OFF...but thats a workaround...not a fix.
