Homeboy ,,, ahhh the never ending Onan servicing. That is why I ripped it out and put a Honda in. imgur.com/gallery/84YusGI It does fit, just check out the fuel consumption of the Onan, Something like 1.1 gallons an hour at no load!!! Running right now at 1/4 load less than a gallon a day. Bobby where is the fuel pump made? Mexico or China? Honda,, made in Japan, built for a lifetime of use.
@@steveharkins279 This one is .35 gph no load. .95 @ full load. It came with the RV and I don't depend on it very often, only has 1100 hrs, so I don't have any plans on ripping it out because I replaced a $80 fuel pump lol, still under warranty for another year too. I'll wait until it dies a permanent death, but by then I doubt if I'll even still have this same RV by then. Those Hondas are really great though.
Thank you, Finding and watching this video was faster, simpler, and more clear than searching through a manual. (let alone poking around under the RV wondering if the fuel pump was at the generator or the tank.. turns out its in a very accessible and sensible place! Now thats a surprise :)
LOL..."Having a little extra hose is better than your hose being to short because you can never add to it I've always been told". Thats what she said. That's a classic! 👍😀 Good repair job Bobby!
Nice that the pump was right there, not buried somewhere in the bowels of the genny! Had a similar issue with my diesel generator but the issue was the over temp safety switch triggering. Of course the generator had to be dropped from the chassis to replace the sensor!
My greatest appreciation of this change out was the pump being so accessible, which made it possible to film it one day, and upload the next day. Yes, I'm so over those services that require a mountain to be moved to mop up a puddle.
Hi Bobby, the laughing in the back ground was genius. Great information. I like that we can go back and rewatch these videos while maintenance our rig. 😎
I wanted to let you know I had trouble with my same generator on that 2002 RV you came to see at Long Point. I used your video here and a nice guy came along seeing me fiddling around. Well, it wasn't the pump, but he was impressed that I seemed to know what I was talking about! I let him get in there and fix it. He loved being the hero...so I let him! Yes. I felt a little guilty, but a girl likes being rescued at the same time...😅
Good job! I was thinking that I could wear some fancy gloves to stop the proverbial knuckle buster, but then ouch there it is! Ha good video. Safe Travels
Thanks for the video. I assume my pump was bad also, but you made me more sure. I already order parts so we will give it a try. Thanks again. Happy camping my R.v/ UA-cam friend 🏕 🏕 🏕
Mine did the same thing. 43 hours. Bought a new one at the cummins dealer today. It ran for 4 hours and quit again. Makes the same noise as yours. I pulled the fuel line off the carb and used the prime function and got no fuel. Pushed the start button and no fuel. Very weak fuel pumps. With filter cost me $156. I got a aftermarket coming from Amazon that cost 56 with filter. Going back to the dealer tomorrow to get a replacement. Hope they don't give me a hard time.
New one from the Cummins dealer should not be wreaking havoc on you like that, sorry you are going through it. Wouldn't warranty on the new unit cover any failures? I hope it works out!
Good job Gene - you should be proud and feel accomplished with your mechanical abilities. I love your videos and hopefully the next one will be more of fun times other than maintenance. 😎🤩👍🏼
Wow. First problem I would have is finding the right sockets and the right socket wrench. Which I wouldn't be able to find. I would have to run 10 miles to the hardware store to buy them. On the way I would hit something with my car and probably get a flat tire. Then I would have to call road service to come change my tire. By then I would realize I forgot to bring my purse and can't pay them. Believe me this is not far from the truth. I am very impressed with anybody who can fix stuff. Good job.
Aw, well simply take the sockets out and test one by one to see if they fit first and then connect it to the rachet. ( I did the same thing but not on video). Then, if you have to go on the road, make sure you see a video on how to change your tire and put on your spare...unless you have roadside service plan. Women don't forget their purse..in my experience. But if you do, they will be happy to be paid after driving you back to where you can retrieve your purse. The day is done :)
@@GenesTherapy You are too kind to take time to write back to my rambling comment that was meant to be a joking synopsis of my life in the last month. I'm remodeling inside and RV I bought everything is one step forward and five steps back. Then one night driving in the dark after taking my son back to college I hit a deer with my car and thought I left my purse in a restaurant we were at earlier. Found purse in car next day and car was in shop for 3 weeks. Anyway I enjoy watching someone who knows what they are doing.
I have the same exact problem. Some said it was the engine oil level and some said that I needed to change to straight 30 weight oil. But neither of these solved the problem. Then noticed that my fuel pump was getting hot. New fuel pump on order. Thanks for the info and confirmation.
Sometimes the gloves just gotta come off and you get at it! lol A little extra on the lines is always good. Where they connect to fittings always seem to crack first. The xtra is handy in a pinch.
I didn't catch the name of the RV parts supplier and didn't see it in the show notes. I don't know that I'll be replacing this part on my generator, but it looks like a useful site to keep bookmarked thanks!
Hi Sharlene, I picked up the pump through Ebay, and the supplier was was getrvparts.com looks like they have lots of stuff. Yes save the video if it ever comes time to replace your pump, it's easy to access it under the genny and you'll be back up and running in no time.
Thanks very helpful Been thru that myself But mine the board had cracked after only 15 years Lost a connection when it heated up Wouldn't restart until cooled down Now fixed
THIS IS HOW I FIXED MINE, IN THE CASE OF.... "I CAN'T START MY GENERATOR" It's has been two years since last time it was running, so I started by checking oil level full at gen dipstick (it won't start if low oil because of sensors) then I checked gasoline more than 1\4 tank in the RV (also safety sensors), sparkplug checked for good spark, also checked the manual reset circuit braker ( to be ON) at front motorhome engine compartment for 12v current to the generator to be able to start it, also cleaned the carburetor and even installed new one but same situation, then checked wires and found some has been chewed like gum by rats at the back of starting switch generator panel so I replaced them, at this time the generator started but stay running only by keep pushing the switch on all the time, so then finally I knew it was internal electrical problem from the engine itself, so I took the generator out from my RV to work in my garage, (I did this by myself with some tools and old Mayan tricks ) lol, it's really heavy for one person. I disassemble the unit at my garage and started by removing the cover, then the cooling fan or flywheel unit (it's 2 items in one) until finally I was at the gen rotor and brushes assembly area and this is what I found: one more wire chewed by filthy rats plus the stinky rat nest in the middle of the generator motor coil, I fixed the wire and sanded the commutator copper contacts where the brushes are sitting becouse they were real duty with old urine from the rats, and of course I got rid off the stinky nest, lol!!! Then I assembled everything back together and... bingo it's runing like a champion!!! For this project materials involved was about $60.00 including an aftermarket new carburetor and an harmonic balancer/steering wheel puller (available at any auto parts for $25.00) to pull the aluminum fan out and (flywheel). Just picture this: (Any gasoline engine run smooth if gasoline and DC current aren't interrupted) so following this important principle you'll always find the problem to be fixed. Also if you have a onan microlite 4000 like mine, don't run it for more than a minute without the cover because you'll cook the engine real fast, also keep the eye on the aluminium fan and your fingers after cranking it in case you missing one or two members...just kidding, lol!!! After testing the gen with the help of a gasoline container, a piece of hose and 12v battery, I did put the air cooling assembly back and the rest of components including the cover, then it was ready to be installed at my RV. Once the gen was installed back at my motorhome I started it to be tested for 120v electricity but not before flipping the AC circuit switch (on) at the gen starting control panel (sometimes hiding under or around the panel) to be able to transfer power to my RV GFCI main outlet and electric panel as well, my motorhome it's equipped with GFCI so I reset it and tested for green led light indicating power is ready at my main breakers panel, so I turned my main breaker (on) along the others ones but no power was present at my breaker main switch (faulty main braker) so I flipped it many times, sometimes you can make it work again, mine did work, lol!!! I'm happy because everything works now including the refrigerator for cold drinks and AC for this crazy summer, lol! Later I'll buy me a new main braker, for now this is a resurrected generator story that needed to be shared. If this can help eaven one person to save time and $$$ it'll make me more happy, thanks for reading!
I really enjoy your vids. About 2 weeks ago I saw a little "ad" on the "Away" thingy about travel and it featured you and your original 30 seconds of your intro.
Loved the video Bobby Gene. I was waiting for the "No Sh*t Sherlock" after the code you got....lol. Great info I will retain when it comes to generators. As always , Thank You♡
My car acted like that and it was a vacuum hose off in the back where it was hard to see! By that time we had replaced numerous parts! Car mechanic figured it out and didn't even charge us! I know a car engine may be quite different, but sometimes it is that simple!
I am having problems with my diesel generator. I replaced with a universal pump because all i could get. Now I am getting fuel, primed and almost starts but wont
A/C is always good. Sometimes I wish my rig was 50 AMP. It's 30 and I can't run both A/C units at once. Oh well. The bedroom A/C is only on for a few hours when we use it.
I finding that this 15k A/C up front works so well that I'm not running the rear near as much, even at night, and I like it nice and cool when I hit the sack.
We had the same problem. We start them on low instead of auto which ran high. Once we got the temperature down in the RV we switched to auto and both ran normal. We think it was the initial start up and trying to cool the Rv down( amps was over 30). Hope this helps! Now it did cut of when we ran the microwave but came right back on as normal (both) when the microwave was done.
Dean I was on about 1100 hours. 2014 model, I didn't use the generator much, except for the cross country trip in 2017 videos where we did some boondocking. Otherwise, I would still 'exercise' it regularly per manual.
Don't ya know ya always Bust a Knuckle every time you remove them work gloves!?!!?!? Just noticed you "Gave to Pippi" a lot of stuff! Damn good man Bobby Gene!
Never fails to bust a knuckle, well in my garage of motorcycles was known as the 'Busted Knuckle Garage" before I sold it. Oh yes, she appreciates everything I had to give lol.
Hey BG great video as usual. Where was your extra hand today? That precise answer from Onan really helped I could tell you were mind melding or something. Is this Onan gasoline or diesel? At any rate brother I m glad you got it going. By the way how many hours on your Onan for the fuel pump to be replaced?
Hiya Ed, I forgot to whip her out after the gen started up! I'm at around 1200 hours, 2014 model. Not a big gen user except in those 2017 vids where we did a lot of boondocking, Walmart, etc. Otherwise I would just 'exercise' it once a month, like I showed at the end of the video. Glad it was an easy accessible part to replace.
@@GenesTherapy so your not going to give an answer about the extra hand? Its all good. I do remember your boondocking at Wally world and running your genset.
I actually found that my inverter handled the fridge perfect, I had always thought it was unrated. I still occasionally ran the gen to switch to coach air conditioner to give the engine a/c a break. Safe travels!

THIS IS HOW I FIXED MINE, IN THE CASE OF....
"I CAN'T START MY GENERATOR"
It's has been two years since last time it was running, so I started by checking oil level full at gen dipstick (it won't start if low oil because of sensors) then I checked gasoline more than 1\4 tank in the RV (also safety sensors), sparkplug checked for good spark, also checked the manual reset circuit braker ( to be ON) at front motorhome engine compartment for 12v current to the generator to be able to start it, also cleaned the carburetor and even installed new one but same situation, then checked wires and found some has been chewed like gum by rats at the back of starting switch generator panel so I replaced them, at this time the generator started but stay running only by keep pushing the switch on all the time, so then finally I knew it was internal electrical problem from the engine itself, so I took the generator out from my RV to work in my garage, (I did this by myself with some tools and old Mayan tricks ) lol, it's really heavy for one person.
I disassemble the unit at my garage and started by removing the cover, then the cooling fan or flywheel unit (it's 2 items in one) until finally I was at the gen rotor and brushes assembly area and this is what I found: one more wire chewed by filthy rats plus the stinky rat nest in the middle of the generator motor coil, I fixed the wire and sanded the commutator copper contacts where the brushes are sitting becouse they were real duty with old urine from the rats, and of course I got rid off the stinky nest, lol!!!
Then I assembled everything back together and... bingo it's runing like a champion!!!
For this project materials involved was about $60.00 including an aftermarket new carburetor and an harmonic balancer/steering wheel puller (available at any auto parts for $25.00) to pull the aluminum fan out and (flywheel).
Just picture this: (Any gasoline engine run smooth if gasoline and DC current aren't interrupted) so following this important principle you'll always find the problem to be fixed.
Also if you have a onan microlite 4000 like mine, don't run it for more than a minute without the cover because you'll cook the engine real fast, also keep the eye on the aluminium fan and your fingers after cranking it in case you missing one or two members...just kidding, lol!!!

About 1100, I blame it on ethanol
@@GenesTherapyyep it’s the fuel
Excellent you probably saved $400.00 by not letting Cummins do it:)
Yes!

Replaced fuel pump after seeing no fuel in the bowl. The fuel pump is pumping but still none is going into the bowl after replacing. Suggestions?
I would ck line for kinking or blockage..clean carb to insure no gunk buildup
We have replaced plugs, Rand for 2.5 hours then shut down when driving it. Have plenty of fuel in the bowl. Maybe carb needs cleaning or pin?? So frustrating
Most of the time it’s carb or electric fuel pump
Plus bad ground at fuel pump
Common point of failure. I’d carry a cheap spare from Amazon.
Roger that, I picked up extra filters and another pump. I'm blaming ethanol.
How much do you charge for repair work? (LOL)
Hey if you're in the neighborhood, it's all free :)
@@GenesTherapy You are a sweetheart, but I would like to learn "how to" and I'll throw Mexican dinner (how we do it in California) if I make it out there. I just saw "Changing Lanes" and they were in the Keys, wow!....it's on my list to go to:)
@@denisepoulsen6820 Yes I think I'll down there for a few days soon too ;)
You made an annoying troubleshoot and fix pleasant.
Thanks Warren
