Installed a primer switch on the inside remote panel. Activated the primer switch, start switch and Onan fires right up. When I release the prime switch the Onan dies. I have compared my wiring to the write up on following article:

http://gmcmotorhome.info/onan.htm

Thinking that it could be a bad start/stop I replaced it and got same results.

Any ideas from the crowd?

Powered the primer switch from exterior light switch just inside door(Purple wire).
Remote Onan switch has a run meter and no battery condition meter. On the control board # 5 pin has a wire connected to it and not to #6 which manual and tech write up suggests.

Power Drawer Operators Manual page 8 and 9
