We had an issue with our brand new Onan in our 2009 Class C. Ours didn't even have 10 hours on it. My wife fired up the Generator while I was driving.

I would contact Cummins and find out what the warranty of the Generator is. It maybe more than 1 year as previously mentioned. They should also be able to help troubleshoot over the phone or email. Or at the very least find the nearest authorized repair facility.

Good example of an "early failure part" the OP asked for, Michael. Wow! 10 hours!
He apparently removed the fuel line from the carb and verified fuel flow though, as he stated that his fuel pump was working.
'Twill be "velly intellesting" to find out what the cause of his failure was. Hope he reports back. These Onans can drive ya nuts at times.
