351M generator won’t start from control panel, but will manually...
Our generator has never started from the control panel, but will if I go outside and do what I show in the picture attached. Basically push the start button and gently pull down the arm shown in the picture, and it fires right up.
Any ideas on how I can get it to do this from the control panel inside without having to go outside and do this?
For the record, when I hold the start button on the inside panel it does crank, just doesn’t start.
Thanks as always!

I have the propane version of that generator but will take a stab at this. Are you holding the inside start switch to off for a few seconds before pushing to start? I remember reading that performs a "prime" or choke feature on the gas models. I think when you pull that lever on the generator itself you are doing the same function. You can see two wires on that black object connected to the lever you're pulling, looks just like a choke valve from the old automotive carb days. Might be worth a try.
