I dunno, Jim, I once noted my Onan died on a long, sweeping left-hand turn
in Tennessee many years ago. Yup, I was getting down on fuel. That
generator pickup is on the left side on the transmission, and the lean in
the turn starved the pickup.
The fuel pump on the generator can't pump air, and once the reaches the
pump flow stops. The filter is on the pump inlet on a Honda, I suspect, and
it isn't very big. A bible would float through it more quickly that it
takes to empty it complexly. The float in that Onan carb wasn't big anough
to get around a long, sweeping turn.
