What are folks using as a replacement these days? My ham radio club has an Onan generator with defective fuel pump (about 5 to 6 kW) and I figure one for the barbarian would probably be suitable.

Out of curiosity, has anyone ever tried to plumb a pulse pump for the Onan?

Johnny,
I've never seen a pulse powered pump that I thought would be big enough for
the Onan. Anyone who's ever opened the oil cap on a running Onan knows for
sure that there's plenty of pulsation there though!

I can't see why the pulse lines would need to be the same length; one could
even build a case for different lengths to get the pumps out of phase --
but probably not worth worrying about if the carb's float bowl proves to be
enough equalization.

Ken -
It's a much less expensive than a new Facet pump - when you can find one.
