I have the same generator.
Have you checked the fuel pump fuse located on the lower RH corner of the Generator Set Control Panel?
If you have and the fuse and connection is good you can test the pump by doing the following.
1. Disconnect the rubber line that runs from your fuel pump to your gas tank.
2. Disconnect the fuel line where it enters your carburetor and point it into an empty container to catch any discharge during subsequent testing.
3. Connect a temporary line from the fuel pump inlet into a full gas can
4. Press the start button on the side of your generator. The electric fuel pump should immediately turn on and start pumping gas from the full gas can into the empty container.
