Onan gen won't stay running

When the "start" switch is pushed the generator will start, when released it dies. I have determined the followingIn the start cycle it recieves DC from the Battery for the fuel pump?When it is released and the generator is running it recieves volts from dc section of voltage regulator on gen set?

So I am assuming that no voltage is running fuel pump when switch is released. . . generator is 100 Miles away and wan't to be prepared for diagnostics.

Is there a relay that swithces it over and has this happened to anyone else?

Is the control board more likely to be bad?

I have read ALOT on this subject but no one addreses the relay possibility

We are geting AC voltage but the generator stays on Idle, is it related to govenor?

Will get wiring diagram so just looking for general practical possibilities
Thanks,:)
