OK! I have been sitting around too long. So here goes.... iF you have a Transmode or any GMC Motorhome with fuel line tapped into main fuel line behind the switching valve and behind any electric fuel pump that might have been added, and IF the generator does not have a shutoff solenoid, and IF the fuel dries up in the generator carb bowl and the float drops and opens the inlet needle and IF the fuel in the line siphoned back into the tank and left an air filled, open ended line into the float bowl vent that is tied to the fuel line going to motorhome engine couldn’t the main engine fuel pump or inline electric fuel pump suck air thru this line and mimic Vapor Lock or fuel starvation? If this senerio Could happen you could check and temporarily repair by trying to start generator or activate prime button if equipped to fill generator fuel line till float bowl inlet closed?
