Default Testing a 15 KW JC

How can I test run my 15 KW JC before hooking up control wires to my LTEU transfer switch? These wires were connected to the generator when I bought it. I can get ignition without a problem, but can't sustain the engine without holding down the start switch, which is not a good thing to do. I figure I would need to hot wire the coil, unless possibly there are two control wires I can temporarily connect to accomplish the same thing.
