Obviously the "kill" switch energizes a relay or solenoid to either
interrupt ignition or fuel. I am not familiar with gas generators but on
a
diesel, the kill switch usually energizes a fuel supply solenoid. I'd
look to see what that fuse is supplying power to and I suspect whatever it
is ... is bad.
