My problem is i have a guardian generator and it won,t crank but if i jump the starter relay the engine turn but don,t start and the fuel pump is running do you know what is my problem thank you!
Your control board is faulty. Try to power up the ingnition coil as well as your fuel pump. If this does not get the engine running then you have major engine problems.

Hi Juan:
It's possible that the relay (solenoid) is not connected properly.
If you're jumping the relay Power to Power (big wires) you're bypassing the relay so don;t really know if it is working.
If you jump the Power (in) wire to the activator terminal it should spin the engine over. If not, the relay would be suspect. .
Hi, if the car engine fails to crank, there is a fault in one of the components in the battery/ignition/starter circuit. Low battery (Check battery voltage, recharge if low, or jump start with another vehicle or battery charger). Bad starter relay/solenoid (Check for
voltage at relay, if relay has voltage but there is no "click" when key
is turned to start, replace relay). Bad ignition switch (Check to see if
voltage reaches starter relay/solenoid when turn to start. If not,
check for open P/N switch and brake or clutch pedal switch. Replace
ignition switch if defective).
Have you checked the fuse? Mine keeps blowing the fuse (located on the back of the control panel) with each startup and shutdown or use of idle control.
Before starting the genset remove the air filter and check the throttle plate on the carberator, it should be closed. If it is opened, then you choke coil is worn out and needs to be replaced.
If you have to really choke an LP engine but it runs more or less normally once started you need to troubleshoot the demand regulator and the fuel supply lines (look for air leaks). I'd also check the fuel inlet pressure before the demand regulator.
