    no i think i have back pressure in the generator exhaust...another tech said this..."engine does not want to restart because of the exhaust back pressure so we often have to drain the aqualift to get the water out of the exhaust to let the engine start."

    If it is hydrolocked, check the anti-siphon valve is installed and working.  You should have the raw water line making a “U” above the water line. 

    The raw water flows into the exhaust then into the muffler where it gets expelled overboard.  There should be zero reason to have so much water in the muffler it stops the exhaust.
