More Onan troubleshooting info came up recently:
My Facet fuel pump died and I cut it apart thinking that the coil most likely had failed. Coil was fine. It measured 1.6 ohms. The failure was the point system in the upper part of the pump. When the coil activates, drives the magnetic pump piston to the top which in turn, magnetically opens the points to repeat the pump cycle after the spring pushes the piston back down. Despite the points being bathed in Argon gas, they burned up and the pump failed.
I see the new Facet pumps are described as solid state without points and are labeled Gold flow with an e after their part number to designate an electronic mechanism.
Has anyone found these newer versions more reliable and resistant to overheating?
