    Onan 4000 Generator won't run?

    When I press the "prime" switch, the electric fuel pump runs and never stops. Are the fuel pumps supposed to stop when enough pressure builds up? Is this the reason that the generator won't start? TYA, Macaroon

    OK, got a weird one for you. Doing a periodic genny run, and they say to run the genny and apply power. Did so. NO POWER. The genny is running, so I check the owner's manual which says to reset the genny breaker. Took me a while, but I found the breaker. No problem. Did a 'test - reset'...

    Generator

    Could someone help me out. I know my 5th wheel uses a 5.5kw LP generator by Onan. What I don’t know is the exact model number or amperage req (30amp/20amp or 30amp/30amp). My RV repair shop near me say they can’t help and I’ve tried Jayce w/no response. It came prepared for the generator.

    My travel trailer has 2 AC units and they work fine at the beginning when I have it connected to the 50amp plug of the generator.
