I check the 2.5 ohm resistor as the manual said to do. It was good, so I attached it directly to ground - still fires with the start switch pushed in and dies when you let go. I removed the shrouding around the oil filter and checked continuity of the LOP wire. I replaced the printed circuit board and rectifier bridge -still fires with the start switch pushed in and dies when you let go. I applied 12V directly to the coil and fuel pump and the generator runs fine, but will not run on its own. I have the "starts but dies when you let off the start switch" condition that Flight Systems says is a common issue. I've downloaded the user, service, and parts manuals for it, and I downloaded the flight systems troubleshooting guide.

I have been reading posts about troubleshooting the BGE.
