Should be just one of the relays by the VR, plus the relay under the dash which turns on the fuel pump. Put your hand on this and see if you can feel it click when you turn the key ON. The fuel pump relay should click off about 1 sec later, but I gather this is not happening. We have to determine whether it is turning on and not off or just not turning on at all. Then we can try to figure out what the problem is. > Well the starter is another problem. It isn't cranking the engine.

Can you turn the engine over with a wrench on the generator?
