Find another mechanic.
Jump terminal 5 and 9 to bypass safety's and prime the fuel pump. All ya
need to do is figure out what the problem is and fix it.
Make sure it's getting fuel consistently. At least 25 gallons of fuel
available with coach sitting level, Non porous fuel lines, working fuel
pump, clean filter(s), screen in the bottom of the fuel pump clean.
Make sure it's getting spark. Spark plugs, wires, Points, capacitors, or
electronic ignition (the cats meow!).
It's a very simple system. Replacement is a lot more trouble and cost and
might not be any better.
