Are you troubleshooting with the Onan in the stored position? The fuel line from outer case to pump may have taken a set with disuse and kinked allowing some fuel but not full flow
Oh Please don't remind me. When I replaced the rubber line on my Onan, I test ran it and it was great.
I shoved it back in and buttoned it up and it quit about 2 minutes later.
It would not restart.
I pulled it out and found the carburetor was dry.
I did all the checks and everything was good.
I shoved it back in and it ran for another 2 minutes....
(Repeat several times.)
I watched as I shoved it back in before giving up for the day and noticed that the new rubber line kinked in the last inch going in.
I cut off 2" of the new line. This made it tighter than I liked when the unit was all the way out.
NO MORE FUEL PROBLEM!!!
Matt
