That's assuming you have an Onan 5500, not sure about exact parts for others.
Thanks, I almost ordered one of those Airtex as it looks so close to the existing one. Rig is in Ridgecrest right now for our race this weekend, heading out there tonight so won't get a chance to do this until it comes home, might run to a local auto parts store and buy their generic one if the temporary Honda I have doesn't work out.
Did you just replace the pump in the same location under the generator? I was thinking about relocating it back at the tank, one so it's pushing instead of sucking, two so it isn't affected by the generator heat. Easy to do, just run one wire along with the fuel line (which I'm replacing with copper anyway as the all rubber one is so soft I'm sure the ethanol has attacked it like it did the fuel station pump inlet hose).
