I finally got a weather break and managed to remove/replace the K2-Run-Relay. No joy. Same behavior as before.
I also noted that the voltage comes up to ~13V when the engine is running. That tells me the alternator is working.
The Start and Run relays have the same part number. I plan to test the relay that I removed and (presuming it is good) replace the Start Relay with it as an act of desperation. I'm running out of actionable ideas -- except replace the starter.
For reference: Replacing K2-Run_Relay took about 2 1/2 hours
Part of the time was me looking for the right tools to get access to the nuts beneath the rats nest. A very long needle-nose pliers worked, along with some long skinny fingers.
The K2-Run-Relay was located in that far lower left corner, below the K1-Start-Relay. Had to remove the top, front and port side of the genset enclosure, then remove the top and front panel of the Control Panel box. Finally had to detach the K1-Start-Relay and Terminal Block 3 and move them out of the way to gain access to the nut that secures the K2-Run-Relay to the enclosure. Took about 10 minutes to access and remove the relay, less than a minute to disconnect it and connect the replacement, and about 2 hours and 15 minutes to put it all back together. Bottom line: the box was not designed for maintainers.
