So, I tried to start my one year old, 230 hour diesel westerbeke generator today the same way I always do. Hold the preheat for a few seconds,. Engage starter, release starter,. Wait for oil pressure to level off at 50psi then release preheat. The only thing different today is when I hold the preheat I hear a ticking like a solenoid also,.when I release the preheat the engine stalls.. water temp is below the scale(cold) so no overheat. Almost like there is a fuel shutoff solenoid that won't stay energized open. I am on the boat for the next 3 days and this is going to ruin a trip. Any help is welcomed. Thank you.
