Why not use an AC relay coil connected to the AC to sense generator 
output.  The 'Normally Open' contacts of this relay would be 
connected in the 12 volt supply circuit to the fuel solenoid, so that 
it can switch it off when there is no AC.  for starting up, use a 
bypass button push switch to bypass the relay during start-up.  When 
the AC comes on line, take your finger off the button.  When the AC 
fails, it cuts the fuel and the engine stops.

Or am I missing something?
