That 36" isn't hose length. Its static pressure. Its saying the aux fuel source can't be more than 36" below the pump.
If the pump trips the breaker it for certain has a problem. At this point I would take the it off and see if you can get it working on the bench.
You won't have to prime the fuel line. The pumps are self priming within a reasonable height range. As a general FYI make sure your AUX container is below the generator height as to not siphon into the generator tank and overflow. It shouldn't do that but there has been a few reports of it...
Big +1 on this. Disconnect the battery and run it again. The 24v power system has a very limited output. A weak battery can cause lots of problems.
The fact that the battery is dragging down the charging circuit is a good sign that it may be recoverable.
