See if the thumbwheel on the shut off solenoid has been screwed, to manually override the solenoid.

Ok thumb screw was all the way In. I backed it off all the way and truck wouldn’t start , wasn’t getting fuel. I then screwed it back in just not all the way and it now runs , shuts off and starts with the switches. Hope that screw doesn’t back out on its own from vibration.

The canister wasn’t leaking it’s leaking from above that and in an area I can’t figure out how to get to. I took a video and some pictures of it leaking. Gonna try to post them.

If it doesn't run with it all the way out you still have a issue that needs to be addressed . it sounds like the fuel solenoid is going bad .
