Finally got my generator running. Replaced fuel pump/filter, would start and run for a few minutes. After priming for several minutes the same would happen. figured it was starving for fuel. Fuel line was hard as a rock and I think the pump was starving for fuel, maybe sucking air. Several joints in line as a in-line filter was added in the past. Clamps at original onan fuel filter, two clamps on in-line filter and whatever in on fuel tank. I replaced the fuel line and in-line filter and new clamps. Could not get to fuel tank fitting so I cut fuel line about a foot from tank and made a splice with brass coupling and clamps.
Now after priming it will start and run about forever sitting in my yard. Drive down the road and it shuts down. Back home and after a long prime, several minutes same thing, starts and runs.
My question, has anybody ever dropped gas tank, or had it done. That may be above my pay grade. I think the gas line may be bad where it connects to the tank.
