Default Sometimes generator won't crank from inside

Sometimes when trying to crank the generator from the inside toggle switches it will spin over fine but not crank. I can open the genny door and hold the fuel solenoid open with my hand and it fires right up and runs fine. I've replaced the relay but it sometimes still does it. What is supposed to trigger the solenoid to open once it's spinning over?

Fixed it. Plug going into the relay was loose. Put some of the electrical grease on it, tighter it up and plugged it in. Works fine now.

I'm not sure. It came from NAPA. Cranks fine now. I got that tip from somebody on here a while back but never did it until now.
