Multiplus ii generator start

I am trying to use the relay on the multiplus ii. The generator I have doesn't have any specific wiring for this but I am intending to connect 3 wires that control start up to the relay. This there any way to set a start sequence where it will activate the starter motor for 10 seconds for example and then look for wether it has started. Then hold the other connection closed until the generator needs to be stopped.

Yes, there are "generator control modules" available that will take a close to run, open to stop contact closure (what the Multiplus outputs) and controls generator preheat, start, over crank, shutdown, etc. A Google search came up with lots of hits, one on Amazon for about $130.
