Let's see if we can get this thread back on track!
If voltage at the starter is not dropping below 12 VDC, that eliminates both positive and ground. And, yes the ground path, particularly if generator is on a slide is often the issue.
I am struggling to see what mechanical issue could be causing the "stop rotation". Can think of a number of them, but, not that would change between no spark plug and spark plugs installed.
I keep coming back to "it takes more amps to turn over an engine with plugs in (because of compression) than one with plugs out." Back to voltage drop issue SOMEWHERE.
