Hey guys, I installed the new fuel pump this morning and the generator fired right up! Just goes to show you just because an electric fuel pump runs and sounds fine doesn’t mean it actually pumps any fuel!
As for the price: I bought this 96 Bounder 34j with 11k miles for $11,200. I hadn’t had an RV for over ten years and needed all new gear. I took 30k out for this, spent the 11.2 on the RV and the rest on upgrades (video in motion satellite, New HDTV’s, lte, Wifi, cell, etc) and all the gear I needed. Most of what I bought can be taken to a newer rig when I decided to upgrade but for now I just want reliable use as I may end up living in the unit for a while during house construction. I’d much rather spend the extra $225 and get genuine Parts and mount it correctly etc then rigging an in-line pump and wiring it in. This pump has a valve on the output that kills the pump if pressure is too high so I don’t even know how I would have wired that into the new aftermarket pump plus the rubber mounted bracket for this pump seemed really nice.
Also, after speaking with Onan this is an updated pump that uses metal instead of hard plastic impellers so it should be very reliable. It took about twenty minutes to break in and quiet up a little and works great!
