One thing to check on the pump - push and hold your start button to the off/prime position, and listen for clicking from the pump after about 5 seconds. If you have no clicking sounds, the pump has probably failed.
I understand the prime function which you describe is not universal among the Onan 4KY generator sets. I'm not sure if it's a matter of what year the generator was made, or if it's an option from the factory, or what. I do know that mine has no prime function (and I rather wish that it did), but operates just fine without any evident fuel pump issues.
Interesting. We've had two now, both are standard 4KY sets, both have the same functionality. (build dates approx 1999 and 2015)
I've seen many others recommend the stop/prime function on this board when they are having problems starting their units, so had accepted this was pretty much a standard function on these models.
I learn something new every day.
