Once the snow clears, I will give the Cummins shop a try on diagnosing the problem. Depending on what kind of shape it's in, will get it repaired or replaced. Spend it now or spend it later! Rather spend more now and have a good functional gennie than have it crash on me with something else wrong when I actually need it, like July in S. Ontario!

Deb,

If you are truly headed for South Ontario, you should make plans. That will put you in striking range of any number of people that can help. That is, if you local small engine wrench can't get it.

Things to check when you can:
Is the fuel line good all the way to the tank. If it has not been replaced, it should have been. (Big Time Pita.)
The bang may well have been the starter bracket. This is a known issue and JimK and others have replacements.
The LOP (Low Oil Pressure) switch. If you not low on lube oil, these can still malfunction. Pull wire 12 off the board and it is disconnected.
As said, a small engine guy is your best shot.
