Fuel tank supply is too low. The siphon tube in the rear fuel tank does not
go all the way to the bottom of the tank. When the fuel level is too low,
the Onan cannot pick up fuel from the tank. This prevents you from running
out of fuel and not being able to move the motor home.

Morning,

the keeper of my 26' Eleganza is currently doing some work in the heat
of Virginia, and wanted to run the A/C off of the gen. The generator
started, ran a few minutes, A/C gets turned on, a few minutes later,
when the compressor should come on, the generator dies. Since then, the
generator no longer comes up. It still cranks strong, but no longer starts.

Any hints/tips are greatly appreciated. Oil is in (from last year), gas
is in.
