The Onan on my Royale takes 10-12 seconds to fire off after it's been off for a few days. After it's started once, restarts within a day or so are immediate.
Choke solenoid is working, existing fuel pump is a Facet ice cube 40104 mounted at the factory location that supposedly has a check valve. I figure either the check valve leaks a little, or there's a leak in the line (I don't see evidence of a leak).
Would relocating the pump near and below the fuel tank tap improve cranking time - thinking that the pump likes pushing rather than sucking?
Also, since the original pump had a filter, I figure I'd add one just downstream of the pump.
Thoughts?
