FOLLOW-UP:
We completed the trip by manually holding the fuel stop solenoid open to start the generator. A minor inconvenience. I stopped by Bestgenman's shop on my way home and picked up a new fuel stop solenoid "just in case". After returning home in the comfort of my shop I found that the relay located on the generator was not getting proper voltage from the Martin Generator Control Box located at the back of the engine on top or the generator head. I believe I had checked that with a test light while troubleshooting "on the road" but when I checked with my volt meter it was only giving 9 volt. I had another box in a storage bay so I replaced it and that fixed it. The box is full of relays and other electronics and can be rebuilt.
Since the original fuel stop solenoid appeared to be old I decided to install the new one and store the old one in my spare parts box that my kids will sell at my estate sale. B-)
Thank you, Gordon for your patience in helping me by phone to trouble shoot this problem.
