So my generator has not been working for a good year or so and I had not done anything with it until now. Getting ready to sell the coach. The generator is a generac np-66g. I replaced the regulator at the propane tank and I have verified I have propane getting to what looks like a couple of regulators or I don't know what to allow the propane into the carb. I checked spark and that was good. Used a little starting fluid and the generator starts right up. So it is a fuel delivery problem for sure.

The propane first goes into this deal. It has two wires going into it. It has a plastic cap that pops off and it slides off of a pin.

Then from there the propane goes through a rubber hose into the carb. If I had to guess I would say the carb is not the issue but not sure what to look at or check here.

Is there 12VDC to the solenoid valve when cranking/on?
Yes 12 volts on one side when cranking. When you stop cranking it takes another second and then power goes out. Then I can feel that solenoid click.
