MEP-803A Power at panel -No crank

[chilbun28]

Quick question guys, MEP-803A (2010 with 500 hours) has power at the control panel and the fuel pump comes on when the main switch is turned to prime but there is no response from the motor when the switch is turned all the way to the start position. Pump comes on, panel lights work, but nothing happens when you turn the switch all the way to start. I'm going to get the generator from where it's at and bring it home early next week to start going through it, just hoping to get some good direction from anyone who has a little time to run me through the electrical path and most common points to check out. From what I understand there are no fault lights on such as no/low fuel... Generator turns over just fine with the dead crank switch. Anything to help get me going is appreciated.

Any chance the emergency shut off switch got pushed in?

Time to hit the books, the -24 manual specifically.

Also be sure Battle Short switch is turned off.
See if the contacts inside of Relay K16 move as S1 is moved from Stop to Prime/Run.

*edit
K16 is the Crank Disconnect relay. If S14 is bad/missing K16 will not move internally causing a no crank from S1 situation.
If the set has a blue plastic S1 that could be the cause a no crank situation too. Those S1's fail occasionally.
