Nice little circuit. But, you do not need it. Unlike a car that must have 12 VDC to continue operation with the key in the run position, a generator does NOT.

All you to with the genny is UNGROUND the coil (key switch on) - engage starter solenoid til engine starts - leave key switch in run position so coil is ungrounded.

12 VDC is only needed for starter.

So, turn on genny key - leave on. An automotive remote will engage starter - engine starts and runs. No further action by auto remote is needed.

To turn off, ground coil - key switch still remains on. You can remove key if you want to "lock out" the system.

Use the door lock function to ground coil to shut down.

You will need a choke solenoid for gas or the LPG prime button. Trunk release function should work OK there.

NOW you tell me!:S OK - so if I understand correctly, I'll just need a circuit to ground the coil to kill the engine. Checked the installaton manual ... the remote starter control module has an auxilliary circuit that will proved a negative/ground for either 5 seconds or as long as a button is held down - that'll work great to kill the engine!

Does a choke solenoid push or pull? I also thought about using a door lock actuator to push the primer button.
