Onan 4000 Generator Won't Start
New (old) RV. Working through the various quirks.
When you try to start it, it usually doesn't do much. Every so often tries to kick over for a second. Has a fuel filter (clear) near the electric fuel pump and I noticed that when I kick it over, no fuel is moving through it at all. However, you can hear the fuel filter clicking away. To me, it sounds like the fuel filter is toast because it should be chugging fuel through the filter, right?
Below is the unit I have:

I noticed it uses hard lines, which seems it would make it more difficult to use the various generic fuel pumps I've used in rigs before? Is there some sort of adapter I could drop in at the end of the hard line so I could use pumpers tape, and rubber hoses and splice in a new generic one?
Thanks =)
