I have a bit newer Onan that stops randomly. I'm about certain it's due to fuel starvation. The inline fuel filter is always dry when it happens. I replaced a bad fuel pump and it does pump fuel when power is applied to it.

I ran new rubber tubing and it made no difference. I noticed when changing the tubing that with a full tank of gas, it did not flow real freely. When I removed the rubber from the metal tube coming from the tank, only small amounts of fuel ran out on the ground.

My question is: Is there a problem with running a metal wire in the metal tube to the tank? I thought running a fine wire in there might clear out the obstruction.

Any other ideas or suggestions? Thanks for everyone's help.
