Greetings from Southern California and THANK YOU in advance for your suggestions.
My generator (4K) has been difficult to start so I finally jumped into it...
It seems that the Onan starts quicker when I keep the "prime" circuit energized while cranking. Does this sound reasonable ?? From my reading of the various electrical diagrams - it sure looks like the fuel pump only runs with the prime circuit energized or from the positive side of the coil while the engine is running. Should the fuel pump be pumping while cranking ??
And... With the priming circuit - shouldn't the pump slow down after the carburetor bowl gets filled ?? Is seems that mine continues to pump - no changes in the sound it makes... (it's the "direct replacement pump" from Applied.)
Everything seems to work once it's running. No hunting, no stalling, 120VAC... Just a little difficult to start.
And THANK YOU Gene Fisher. From the 49er blog post on your website - I got my Onan electric choke properly wired and working.
