1. Does the generator stay running when you start it the first time?
2. What color is the housing on this generator? Try to get the model number and serial number.
If the genset is shutting down on the first try, then your probably not creating voltage. However, if this is an older unit then the genset may stay running although no voltage is created. Place a volt meter on the genset to check for output voltage.
